Reprints exist of the 10 c, 50 c and 1 P values (made in 1881) on bluish paper instead of white paper (information obtained from 'An illustrated catalog of all known reprints of officially issued postage stamps and postal stationery, 1840 to 1892' by Kalckhoff, Hilckes and Evans). Traces of the defacing lines can be seen in the design of these reprints. Other sources say that the 5 c was also reprinted. The reprinted 5 c have two '*', the originals have two circles. The lettering is also different for this 'reprint'; see for example 'CINCO CENTS'.
'Reprint' of the 5 c. Also a possible reprint of the 10 c.
Even Sperati made forgeries of the bogus 5 P design:
Sperati forgery of the 5 P red stamp.

Probably genuine
Senf made forgeries of some postal stationery of Tolima (inscription 'CERTIFICACION CON CONTENIDO':
(Senf forgery)
At the bottom the inscription 'KUNST BEILAGE ZU SENF'S "ILLUSTRIRTEM BRIEFMARKEN-JOURNAL" No13. 1888'. Senf also made a forgery of the three-coloured 10 cents and 50 cents value postal stationery of Tolima (the forgeries have inscription 'FACSIMILE' twice in the 'Remite' section at the bottom.
Possibly some other Senf forgeries of registration labels which were issued in 1879 (10 c and 50 c):
An advertisement for these 'Facsimiles' from Senf, where a set of
10 facsimiles are offered for a price of 2 Mark. It includes the
25 c and 50 c 1865 issue, the 50 c 1867 issue, the 50 c 1870
issue for Colombia. Also the 5 c, 10 c
and 50 c of the 1879 issue and the 5 c, 10 c, and 50 c of the
1886 issues of Tolima were included.
More registration labels were issued between 1883 slightly different from the above design (5 c, 10 c and 50 c). In 1886 another set followed in different colours (5 c, 10 c and 50 c).
Between 1888 and 1896 a new set was issued in the design as shown below. They exist with inscription '18', '188' or '189' (where the year is supposed to be entered):
Registration label of 1888, with inscription '188'.
With inscription '18' or '188' were issued: 5 c, 10 c and 50 c. With inscription '189' were issued the values 20 c, 30 c, 40 c, 50 c, 60 c, 70 c, 80 c, 90 c and 1 P.
Unlisted stamps:
(Cut from a postal stationery?)
Some other unlisted stamps, bogus issues or cuts from postal
stationary?
A 5 P in the design of the 5 c 1871 issue is a bogus stamp (the design is in negative with respect to the 5 c).
Some stamps with an 'A' in a star are also bogus, 5 different colours seem to exist.
