US forgeries |
| The stamps can be easily recognised by their general dull and flat appearance. The colours are weak and the shading is often solid colour. The paper is unwatermarked and somewhat coarse. It is less stiff than that of origimal stamps. The forged stamps are perforated 13 (as opposed to perf. 14 for originals). While most items are uncancelled, some bear falsified postmarks as well.[1] Such stamps are known imitating the German colonies of the Marshall Islands (50Pfg), Samoa (5Pfg, 10Pfg, 25Pfg, 50Pfg, 80Pfg), the Marianas (3Pfg; 80Pfg), Kiautschou (Kiaowchow); the Cameroons (30Pfg), and East Africa (45 Heller). It can be assumed that a complete run of values and colonies was produced. |
