Genuine 1 F Duval type stamps
I've noticed that in all genuine 1 Franc stamps I've seen, there
is a tiny scratch below the lower 'grape' pattern.
Forged perforation on a French Colonies imperforate 1 F postage
due stamp. The next stamp also appears to have forged
perforation. These forgeries were made from imperforate French
colonies stamps, since those are many times cheaper than this
French postage due stamp. I've also heard of forged 40 c black
stamps by reperforating the French Colonies stamps (other values
might exist?), but I don't have an image available of such a
forgery
Here a perforated stamp of France (cancelled in Savoie), with the
perforations cut off to make it appear to be a French Colonies
stamp. The perforation can still be seen in the upper right
corner.
Here the opposite case, the perforation appears to have been
forged, but the basic stamp is a French Colonies stamp?
On the left two forged 1 F stamps, made from a 1 c stamp, by
erasing the word "CENTIME" and replacing it be
"FRANC" (this can be seen on the first stamp, where a
region around "FRANC" is clearly a different 'white'
color). It is rather deceptive, but the "1" of the 1 c
and the 1 F are different, see the images of a genuine 1 c and a
genuine 1 F next to it. Also in the genuine 1 F stamp the
"A" is not straight above the second "E" of
"PERCEVOIR" as it is in the 1 c value.
A 1 F brown forgery with the "A" not placed in the same
spot with respect to the "A" of "FRANC" when
compared to a genuine stamp, the printing is quite bad.
A 1 F forgery with the top left part of the "1" tapered
off. Also the "A" is not positioned under the
"A" of "FRANC" in the same way as in the
genuine stamps. The "C" of "PERCEVOIR" is too
narrow. See also: France Postage Due
Stamps, primitive forgery type 2 for other values of this
forgery type.
Forged 1 F stamps with wrong perforation gauge. Also a
imperforate forgery of the same type. In these forgeries, the
curly ornaments at both sides of the word "CHIFFRE" are
very badly done.
In this forgery, the "1" is placed too far to the left,
the last "R" of "PERCEVOIR" is placed too far
to the left as well. The "A" between "FRANC"
and "PERCEVOIR" is very small.
In this forgery, the second "R" of
"PERCEVOIR" is placed too far to the left and the
"1" is also placed too far to the left. Contrarily to
the previous forgery, the "A" between "FRANC"
and "PERCEVOIR" is not too small. Some of them appear
with a forged Fournier cancel, such as the DAKAR 11 JUIL 92
SENEGAL", "NAM-DINH 1 OCT 92 TONKIN" or
"BASSE TERRE 1E|21 JUIN 92 GUADELOUPE" as shown here.
There are several subtypes, with the "1" placed at
slightly different spots. The perforation is not correct in the
corner in the perforated stamps.
The same forgery type, but now with a smudge under the
"C" of "CHIFFRE".
The same forgery type, but another subtype with a kink in the
curved line below the "P" of the left
"POSTES"
Yet another forgery with the second "R" of
"PERCEVOIR" is placed too far to the left, however, now
the "1" is placed in the right position.
Believed to be Fournier forgeries. There is a dot behind the last
"R" of "PERCEVOIR" (exists in black, brown
and lilac). Also there is a break in the banderole next to the
"C" of "FRANC". See also France Postage Due Stamps, 1881 Fournier
forgeries, first type
