Double overprint 5 on 20 c
Some remarks on forgeries can be found in Le Postillon Revue Philatelique of 1921, page 490.
Pages from a Fournier Album with Fournier
forged overprints.
The cancel "ST.PIERRE 1E 11 JUIN 92 MARTINIQUE" was also forged by Fournier:
Forged Martinique cancel "St.PIERRE 1E/11 JUIN 92
MARTINIQUE" used by Fournier (in the upper right corner).
And another forged Martinique cancel "FORT DE FRANCE 6 MAI
94 MARTINIQUE" (3rd row, 4th cancel), taken from the
Fournier Album.
Fournier forgery, the basic stamp is a forgery, the inverted
overprint is also a forgery (the central part of the
"M" does not go all the way down) and the cancel
"St.PIERRE 1E/11 JUIN 92 MARTINIQUE" is also forged
(see the above sheets with forged cancels).
Forgeries of the misprint.
