(Reduced size)

  2 s yellow
  3 s green
  5 s red
  10 s blue
  15 s brown

  50 s brown (larger size)

All these stamps (except the 10 s and 15 s) are worth considerably more in cancelled condition than uncancelled. Forged cancels exist!

Envelope with the same design:

I've seen stamps with forged cancels (cancelled stamps are often more valuable for this issue). For example a 2 Sld yellow stamp, with a forged 'SALO' cancel (probably part of 'SALONICI').
