More OS forgeries on eBay from the Australian forgery gang member "collectablestamps_9" of NSW, Australia. These OS forgeries are all different from the group offered by the same seller earlier on eBay (see TPS BB post of 5 April 2024).

Re: Forgeries and Facsimiles seen on Online Auction Sites, etc
A 1d Chalon with a fake BN170 cancel is listed on eBay by "collectableswarehouse1" of Morwell, VIC, Australia. Fiscal pen markings can be faintly seen beneath the cancel. This is the first time that I have seen this barred numeral faked; and it is significantly different from a genuine BN170. This i...

Re: Forgeries and Facsimiles seen on Online Auction Sites, etc
A 1/ Chalon with a fake cancel is on eBay by seller "da adca rtddsegjbg" of Falkirk, UK. I can't see any evidence of fiscal use, so the fake cancel--which resembles a genuine cancel--might fool an unsuspecting collector. Even though I can't see any evidence of fiscal use, the fake cancel strongly in...

A fiscally used 1d perforated Chalon with a forged barred numeral 11 cancel is posted on eBay by seller "The Stamp & Cover Collector" out of England, UK. This is a nice example of the cancel forgery.
