Re: Forgeries and Facsimiles seen on Online Auction Sites, etc
Two more forgeries on eBay from another new seller: "mightystamps-1" of NSW, Australia. I suspect the seller is the same as "mightystamps000" of NSW, Australia since both are selling the NSW forger's creations. This time we have a 1d Chalon forgery with the typical forged cancel and another 4d Couri...

Re: Forgeries and Facsimiles seen on Online Auction Sites, etc
More forgeries on eBay from seller "bluewonder143" of NSW, Australia. The REPRINT overprint and the so-called Chalon stamps are both forgeries.

A £1 Keyplate forgery is listed on eBay by seller "YHStamps2020" with a location of London, UK. In addition, the same seller listed two Chalons that appear to be forgeries.

Re: FORGED OFFICIAL PERFINS BEING OFFERED FOR SALE on eBAY etc.
More OS forgeries on eBay from "bluewonder143" of NSW, Australia. The low-resolution scan makes it hard to be sure on the 1d and 2d pictorials, but I am confident the other values have forged OS punctures. No comments on the T punctures which I have not studied.
