Forgeries, examples:

(Reduced size)

Note that the numbers are different from the genuine stamps in the above forgeries. Also note the typical 'Spiro' cancels.

The forger Fournier offers the three values 180 r, 300 r and 600 r in his 1914 pricelist for 3 Swiss Francs. He sold them as first choice forgeries. I have no pictures of those available right now. He also sold the whole serie (7 values) as second choice forgeries for 2 Swiss Francs, possibly he sold the above shown forgeries.

Other forgeries:


(Forgeries of the 30 r and 90 r)

Two different forgeries of the 600 r value


Forgeries of the 30 r and 300 r; made by the same forger? There is no loop in the center of the '3's.

A set apparently made by the same forger. Note the straight white line in the center of the 60 r forgery (first forgery listed in Album Weeds).

And another set of forgeries


And two forgeries of the 300 r and 600 r value made by the same forger


Mercier forgery. The same forgery also appears as Oneglia forgery in the book 'The Oneglia Engraved Forgeries' by Robson Lowe & Carl Walske (1996).


Oneglia forgeries, all with "CORREIO GERALDACORTE 12 16-8 14" cancel.


Rather deceptive forgery of the 600 r value (Oneglia?).


Forgery apparently based on an illustration in a Schaubek Album (or is it the other way around?).


Engraved forgery in the wrong color red of the 300 r stamp.


Forgeries, also in bogus colors. All forgeries have dots in the numbers. Other colors exist.
