Reprints:
I've been told that the above stamp is a reprint made from retouched original plates. I have no further information. Reprints exist of all values and are not very rare.
(Primitive forgery with the side ornaments different; not enough loops)
(Forgeries with a very large 'flag' on the ship)
Spiro(?) forgeries:
I think the above forgeries are made by Spiro. I've only seen them with a cancel consisting of dots. Fournier also offers these stamps in his 1914 pricelist (3 values together for 1 Swiss Franc as second choice forgeries). Fournier also offered first choice forgeries of these stamps by the way.
Other forgeries:
The above stamps are Rivadeneira forgeries, I have no further information about these stamps.
(These forgeries are probably originating from the same source, note that he 1/2 r has the same 'defects' as in the above Rivadeneira forgeries)
The above stamps are bogus stamps. There were never any stamps issued in 2 (dos) reales or 8 (ocho) reales.
1/2 (medio) r blue 1 (un) r orange 4 r (quatro) red (1865) 1 Peso red
These stamps (except 4 r) have perforation 11. The 4 r is imperforate.

Forgeries, example:
I have my doubts about the next stamps, forgeries?:
I think the above forgeries are made by Spiro. They are also offered by Fournier in his 1914 pricelist they are offered 1 Swiss Franc (all values except the 4 r, as second choice forgeries). Fournier also offered first choice forgeries of these stamps by the way.
