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.

The next forgeries are all offered on old (genuine?) documents on Ebay (2005). The cancels seem quite dubious to me. I presume they were all made by the same forger, but I don't know who made these forgeries.

Forgeries of the Modena 1859 Newspaper stamp:

With pencancel and dots cancel

Forgeries of Tuscany:

This is a badly executed forgery of the 1 cr value of the 1851 issue of Tuscany, it has a pencancel, I've seen several of these forgeries.

An old document with such a forgery

I've only seen the 1 cr forgery of Tuscany.

Forgeries of Austrian Newspaper stamps:

I've only seen forgeries of the blue and yellow stamp:

Yellow stamp with 'Millwheel' cancel and blue stamp with cancel 'DISTRIBUZIONE' in a double circle with large '2' in the center

I've also seen a yellow newspaper stamp with the 'DISTRIBUZIONE III' cancel as in the newspaper tax stamps shown below.

Forgeries of Austrian Newspaper Tax Stamps:

2 k green and 2 k red (wrong type), the 2 k green with a 'DISTRIBUZIONE III' elliptic cancel

Forgery on document, newspaper of Milan, reduced size

2 k green forgery, with two very fancy cancels

I've also seen such a 2 k green forgery with a millwheel-cancel (as on the yellow newspaper stamp of Austria shown above). I've also seen the 2 k red together on a document with an imperforate 2 s green Austrian Italy 1859 stamp.

Forgeries of Austrian Italy 1859 issue:

I've only seen these forgeries with pencancels

Forgeries of Austrian Italy 1861 issue:

A forgery of the 15 p imperforate forgery (pretending to be a cut of an envelope?) together with a 3 s of the 1859 issue. I've only seen these forgeries with pencancels
