Note: on my website many of the pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the catalogue;
contact me if you want to purchase the catalogue.

Many forgeries exist with a forged "ARREGONDO" or "Arregondo" cancel. They were probably based on a genuine cancel of ARREDONDO (note the "D" instead of the "G") from Uruguay.


Genuine Arrendondo (nowadays called Rio Branca) cancel. Arrendondo is nowadays called Rio Branca. Note that forgeries exist with a wrong townname "ARREGONDO" ("G" instead of "D"), also with "BRUG" instead of "URUG".

"ARREGONDO" forged cancel (all capital letters):


A whole sheet of forgeries of Uruguay with forged "EN DE CORREOS ARREGONDO REP O. DEL URUG." I have also seen the same cancel on some forgeries of the 1868 issue of Mexico.

There are two types of this cancel "BIMon DE CORREOS" and "EN DE CORREOS"

240 c red, forgery!

Forgery! Forgery!
The same forged cancel "BIMon DE CORREOS ARREGONDA, REP..." on stamps of Argentina!


And on forged stamps of Mexico.


And on stamps of Buenos Aires.

"Arregondo" forged cancel


On stamps from Uruguay and Argentine.
