Another 1d Courier forgery posted on eBay by "maximus321-6" of QLD, Australia.

John -- You are correct. I actually tried it on paper myself because it was confusing, but I made the mistake of turning the paper over when I did the inversion which meant I needed to also reverse it to get the right K orientation. Sorry for the confusion. The inverted K on type 1(iv) is still note...

A Launceston CDS Type 1(iv) [Hardinge, The Post Offices and their Datestamps, p.255] has been found with code K reversed and inverted.

We have a new seller of the NSW forger's creations. A forgery pair of the 4d Courier on eBay by seller "maximus321-6" of QLD, Australia.

I debated where to post this item--under forgeries or under a plate flaw topic, but since the seller (seela-64 of QLD, Australia) is or is associated with NSW forger, I decided to post the item with the forgeries. I decided it had more to do with the credibility of the seller. The item is a genuine ...

I hope everyone has come to recognize this forgery. Nevertheless, I'm posting another example of the NSW forger's creations. The eBay seller is "collectables stamps" with a location of NSW, Australia.

Here is another example of material that I don't usually comment on, but the description was infuriating, and I wanted to say something to help educate collectors so they do not get scammed.
