1918 Stamps of Hungary overprinted 'FIUME'

Warning: many of these overprints are forgeries! The first and second batch of overprints was done with a machine. Manually overprinted overprints also exist (third printing). Double and inverted overprints exist.

The forger Fournier is known to have made forgeries of these stamps (presumably he used the forged "FIUME" overprint as listed in the Fournier Album), the forged cancel "FIUME 9191 Jan.-9-N10 A2A" with imperial crown can also be found in this album.


Forged Fiume cancel (first image in the bottom row); image taken from a Fournier Album (reduced size).

Fiume postmark with imperial crown in the design. Later postmarks don't show this crown.
