A 1d Chalon that was fiscally used and with a forged South Australian barred numeral 37 cancel is listed on eBay by seller "hedgepig2000" of Cambridge, UK. You can see the fiscal pen marks below the forged cancel. The forged cancel is similar a genuine SA barred numeral 37 but there are a few items not right with the numerals. I've posted the item here because it is a good example of the forged cancel.

More forgeries from the Australian forgery gang. A relisted CA monogram forgery on a 2.5d recess-printed pictorial on eBay by "collectablestamps_9" of NSW, Australia. This item was previously offered last year by another member of the gang "niftystamps111" of NSW, Australia. (See TPS BB post of 11 October 2023.) In addition, "classic-stamps" of QLD, Australia has listed on eBay more examples of the forged REPRINT Chalon stamps. More examples of these forgeries can be found in multiple TPS BB posts over the past year by many different members of the forgery gang.

Forgery gang member "moonman143" of NSW, Australia has relisted on eBay another 1d Courier forgery. This is the same dud that the forger tried to sell earlier this year (see TPS BB post of 2 March 2024).

Forgery gang member "classic-stamps" has listed on eBay another 1d Courier forgery. This time the forger has listed their location as NSW, Australia, rather than the last time they listed their duds as QLD, Australia.

"YHStamps2020" of London, UK has listed more forgeries on eBay. This is the first time I have seen forged Couriers and perforated Chalon forgeries from this seller. The Courier forgeries appear very similar to the NSW forgery gang's material, and the Chalon forgeries appear very similar to the forgeries coming out of Taiwan. I have said this before, but if you want genuine stamps do not buy anything from this seller. They only sell forgeries (what they call reproductions).
