Fournier forgeries


Fournier forgery of the 10 c value, taken from a 'Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries' on the backside of this forgery the words "FAC-SIMILE" are printed in slanting rows.


Fournier forgeries with "PARMA 9 AGOS 58" in a single circle as cancel. Also a "BORGO 6 FEBR 59" in a single circle cancel

It should be noted that Fournier also sold better forgeries (though they are not in his 1914 pricelist, but images can be found in Fourniers album of philatelic forgeries). A cancel that can be encountered is (among others): "BORGO 6 FEBR 59" in a single circle (this cancel can be seen in 'Fournier's album of philatelic forgeries'). Other cancels that are shown in this album are: "PARMA 13 AGO 1858" in a single circle, "PARMA 9 AGOS 58" in a single circle, "PARMA 15 MAG 1858"? in a single circle, "TERACINA 4 APR 67" in a double circle, "FOLIGNO 20 DIC 68" in a double circle and "CALDAROL" in a straight line.
