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.

The OS forgeries shown in the TPS BB post of 14 Dec 2023 have been relisted on Ebay by another seller associated with the NSW forgery gang. This time by "mightystamps-1" of NSW, Australia. All collectors should be careful buying any OS perfins--Tasmanian or any other colony--from any of the forgers' seller names.

More OS forgeries are listed on eBay by the Australian forgery gang. The new group is listed by "Global-Stamps" of SA, Australia. Interesting, eBay shows this seller as "pebbelstamps" of SA, Australia which is another known seller id of the forgery gang. In the group shown below, the three Keyplate stamps were previously offered under another forgery gang seller id "niftystamps111" of NSW, Australia (see 16 October 2023 TPS BB post). The OS on the 4d pictorial is also forged. No comment on the T perfins which I have not studied.

OS forgeries that were previously listed on eBay have been relisted by a different seller of the Australian forgery gang. A group of unused pictorials all with forged OS perfins is now listed by "collectablestamps_9" of NSW, Australia. The scan of these items may be seen under TPS BB post of 5 April 2024 and were offered by another member of the forgery gang "Pioneer Stamps" of QLD, Australia. A group of used stamps with forged OS perfins is relisted by the same seller "collectablestamps_9" and the scan of those items may be seen under the post of 15 December 2023. These were previously listed by "bluewonder143" of NSW, Australia, also a member of the forgery gang.

Another group of OS forgeries is listed on eBay. I'm not sure about the 2d without doing measurements, but all the rest have some bad characteristics. The seller is "philacollectables" of Newtown, NSW, Australia.
