Presumably genuine stamps
I've only seen the 5 F perforated for this
forgery type, but many more values for the French colonies can be
found here:
French colonies, postage due stamps,
primitive forgery type 1
5 F forgery type 1. Note the strange position of the accent on
top of the "A".
There might be two types of each of these
forgeries. In my view, these forgeries have the following
disinguishing characteristics (besides from being printed very
badly):
1 c: In the 1 c forgery, the upper part is badly done; especially
above the "H" of "CHIFFRE".
3 c: First type: break in the line below the "3".
4 c: The top right part of the "4" has an extension in
the genuine stamp, this is missing in this forgery.
5 c: There appear to be at least two types of the 5 c, in one of
the 5 c types there are some smudges below "PERC" and
the central bar of the first "E" of
"CENTIMES" is missing, which also appear in the left
stamp of the block of four.
15 c: In one of the types there is a hole in the inner frame
below the "I" of "CHIFFRE". The accent on the
"A" is missing.
20 c: A vertical black line appears in the white line above the
"X" of "TAXE" (but not always?). The bottom
left part is very smudged.
Here some of these forgeries for the French Colonies:
This forgery type often appears with the blue "ANJOUAN COL
FRANC." cancel. It looks, as if these 1 c, 2 c, 3 c and 4 c
stamps were printed together?
