Cross forgery of the 400 r value
Several deceptive forgeries exist of this issue. The so-called 'Cross forgery' or 'Falso Cross' is described at: http://www.tabacaria.org/Selos/Elefantes/cross.htm. The Seligmann (named after the discoverer) is described at: http://www.tabacaria.org/Selos/Elefantes/seligmann.htm.Yet another forgery, the so-called Brückheimer forgery is described at: http://www.tabacaria.org/Selos/Elefantes/bruckheimer.htm.
I have also seen a genuine 500 r black stamp, with the value tablet chemically removed (to appear to be a rare misprint).
