BRESLAU

('Vereinigtes DIENST-MANNS- Institut', genuine bogus issue, reduced sizes)

('BRESLAU Dienstmann' genuine bogus stamps)

Some stamps with inscription 'BRESLAU Dienstmann' and 'BRESLAU DIENSTMANNS Institut' exist, both in the values 1/2 sgr black on yellow, 1 sgr black on red, 1 1/2 sgr black on green, 2 sgr black on blue, 2 1/2 sgr black on orange and 5 sgr black on lilac (or red). These stamps were issued for stamp collectors, so can be considered as a bogus issue. Nevertheless, forgeries exist:

I don't know who made these forgeries.
