According to 'Distinguishing Characteristics of Classic Stamps: Old German States' by Hermann Schloss, a private reprint was made by Albin Rosenkranz. It has no silk thread, there is no background behind the eagle (the easiest test) and the paper is different. Usually the words 'Ndr.' or 'Neudr.' are printed on the backside. According to the Serrane guide, these reprints were made in 1894.
A Rozenkranz reprint of the 1 Sch and a non-issued 3 s value with
no background lines behind the eagle.
I have seen minisheets of Rozenkranz reprints with 8 stamps (4 on the frontside and 4 on the backside) with no 'Ndr.' or similar impression on the back of each stamp. I've seen the values 1 s blue, 2 s red, 3 s green and 3 s yellow.
Private reprint of 1987
Another reprint for a Kruschel Auction in 1976.

The Serrane guide mentions six different forgeries. Among them a Hamburg set, a Paris set and a Geneva set (Fournier). The stamp forger Allan Taylor also offers these two stamps for 5 c in his pricelist and Oneglia also offers them in his 1906 pricelist.
Forgeries, example:
(Could these be Fournier forgeries?)
The genuine stamps should have a blue silk thread (however, this has also been forged). In the above forgeries, the 'L' of 'SCHILLING' is approaching the central oval too much. In the genuine stamps there should be a part of the tail of the eagle. The cancel is also very typical on this kind of forgery. Fournier offers these stamps in his 1914 pricelist for 1 Swiss Franc (both values) as second choice forgeries.
Another forgery. This could be an uncancelled stamp with a forged
'18' cancel. It does resemble the forged cancel shown on
http://www.stampsx.com/ratgeber/stempelliste-falsch.php. I have
no further information.
Forgery: This stamp has the "S" in the upper corner
different from the above stamps, also the "S" in
"POST" is different, furthermore the second feather
from above on the right hand side sticks out much more than in
the above stamps. In the genuine stamps, the heads of the
"H" and "I" in "SCHILLING" are
joined. The horizontal bar of the "H" of this word
should be very thin. The cancel on these forgeries appears to be
"STADT LSTEIN 0*7-8N" (the rest of the cancel is
missing).
Possibly Oneglia forgeries?
The "S" and "H" are placed too low in this
forgery of the 2 Sch stamp
In this forgery of the 2 Sch the bottoms of the '2's are curved.
They are straight in the genuine stamps. I've seen a whole sheet
of 12 (3 rows of 4) of these forgeries with 'FALSCH' written at
the back.
I've been told that this is a proof; I've seen them in various
colours: black, black on yellow, black on red, black on yellow,
black on orange, blue, blue on grey, blue on yellow, blue on red,
blue on orange and blue on yellow. They are all in the value 1
Schilling.
Essay? Without letters and value.
In the period from 1 September 1851 to the end of March 1864, the stamps of Denmark were used in Schleswig-Holstein.
