Azores part 2 - Acores
part 3 - Angra - Horta - Ponta
Delgada
(From 1932 on the stamps of Portugal were
used)
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.
Note: I have seen the stamps of 1868, 1871 and 1880 with overprint "ACORES" (small and large overprint, all uncancelled), but with an additional small horizontal line, covering the value at the top. I do not know if these are essays or forgeries.
Imperforate
The cancels on these stamps look suspicious to me....
5 r black 10 r yellow 20 r brown 50 r green 80 r orange 100 r lilac
The 25 r red was not officially issued.

Forgeries, examples:
Two forged 'ACORES' overprints.
The forger Fournier made forgeries in four different types of the
'ACORES' overprints, above are shown the forged overprints that
can be found in the 'Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries'.
