Postal forgery:
In the above postal forgery, the 'S' and 'T' of 'IMPUESTO' are not joined (they should be in the genuine stamps. The ear is too larger and the inscription below the neck reads 'NLIA' instead of 'JULIA'. This forgery has been described in 'The Postal Forgeries of the World' by H.G. Leslie Fletcher.

An extra tax was obligatory from 1929 to 1945 in Barcelona. Although they fall outside the scope of this catalogue, I'll give some examples here:

The 'value' on this stamps is actually the weigth, ounces (=onza) and pounds (=libra).
Second forgery of Album Weeds; picture found at http://www.graus.com
Forgeries of these stamps exist. Album Weeds describes three of them; the first one has the 'C' of 'CORREOS' placed too low, the second one has the letters 'RRE' of this word all joined at the bottom and the value label is almost not rounded in the corners. A bogus value exists in the value 1 L black on lilac of this second forgery. In the third forgery the 'C' of 'CORREOS' has a rounded knob at the head.

1 L | * | *** |
These stamps could also be used in the Spanish colonies, such as the Philippines. Album Weeds describes one set of forgeries of these stamps, where the 'C' of 'CORREOS' touches the chain (or almost touches it as in the next forgeries?):
There are other differences with the genuine stamps, such as the number of pearls on the crown.
Another forgery of this stamp, with the lettering badly done:

I've been told that this stamp is a forgery as well:

If I'm well informed these stamps were used by members of the parliament.
I've seen modern forgeries of these stamps, imperforate and inverted center (why not?). I suspect them to be products made by a forger of Hialeah, Florida. They are made with a computer scanner and printer.
