Fournier forgeries:

Forgery with watermark, frontside Forgery with watermark, backside Fournier forgery with 'FAC-SIMILE' printed at the back
(Reduced sizes)


Other Fournier forgeries, with 'FAC-SIMILE' printed on the backside.


Forgery on the left has a watermark. In my view the final "O" of "TOSCANO" is slanting backwards in this 60 Cr Fournier forgery. Also the bottom left part of the "Z" of "CRAZIE" is damaged.


Fournier forgery with "SANFA EUFEMIA" cancel (not shown in the Fournier Album) and another one with a cancel I can't decipher.

The above forgeries are Fournier forgeries with (!) watermark? In my opinion, for the lower values, the line just above the value inscription is too thick in the Fournier forgeries.



Forged cancels made by Fournier as found in 'The Fournier Album of Philatelic Forgeries', reduced sizes: "S. MINIATO 25 NOV 1855", "LUCCA 1 ATT 1853", "PONTEDERA", "EMPOLI", "FIRENZA 27 FEB 1858" and "LIVORNO"
