Inscription "VERIFICATO DOGANA ITALIANA" with arms of Italy in the center.

Two stamps with a head on it, only inscription '2-3', '3-16' and '5-20'. These are "Marche per Quaderni" stamps, a quarterly tax on wages on legal folios (1935):

(Heads with no country name, only inscription '2-3', '3-16' and '5-20')

Franchise stamps (1924), arms, wolf statue or woman with crown, inscription "POSTE ITALIANE ANNO 1924", text written in black at the bottom

Genuine stamps

With inscription 'ASSOC. NAZ. MUTIL. INV. GUERRA - ROMA', 8 values were issued (from 5 c to 5 L).

Another set has the inscription 'BIBLIOT. CIRCOLANTI MILANO': 4 values (5 c to 50 c).

Yet another set has inscription 'LEGA NAZIONALE TRIESTE': again 4 values (5 c to 50 c).

Again another set exists with inscription 'OPERA NAZ. PROTEZ. ASSIST. INV. GUERRA'; 7 values (5 c to 3 L). This set exists with black overprint 'ASSOC. NAZ. MUTIL. INV GUERRA - ROMA' .

And again another stamp with 'UFFICIO NAZIONALE COLLOC. DISOCCUP.' (5 c green, 10 c red, 25 c brown, 30 c red-brown, 50 c lilac, 1 L blue, 5 L brown).

All the above overprints are quite rare and have been forged. For example the overprint 'ASSOC. NAZ. MUTIL. INV GUERRA - ROMA':

Forgery! Note the indentations in the right frameline in this forgery.

I'm not 100 % sure, but this might be one of the modern forgeries of Italy that are often offered together with forgeries of the Italian States. These forgeries are offered in large quantities on Ebay (2007).

Image obtained from a Sotheby auction
Sperati forgery, I do not know the distinguishing characteristics.
