I've been told that this stamp is genuine, though I'm not 100 %
sure.
At least three different kind of forgeries of this rare stamp exist.
I've been told that this forgery on small piece was made by the
stamp forger Peter Winter.

16 values exist with inscription "ALPENVORLAND ADRIA". A nice website of these stamps can be found at: http://crostamps.com/a_a/article.htm. According to this site, it is not clear if these stamps were simply bogus products, or stamps that were prepared, but never set in use (due to a bombardement they were supposed to have fallen in wrong hands). They have a definitive 'Austrian' look, if we compare them to stamps of Austria from just after World War II.
Also note the very strong resemblance in style of these stamps with the "PROVINZ LAIBACH" stamps.
