Alsace - Lorraine War of 1870-71
I always seem to revisit this complex few stamps and years. I was looking at some stamps for sale, type II, Scott # N8 - N14. Since I've owned few of these I took out the Serrane Guide and starting reading about forgeries. I can't measure the stamps' burelage (one of the tests) since they are scans on the internet BUT I noticed in the mention of the "Geneva forgeries" that the color frame margins have gaps where they come together in the corners. All of the stamps that I see in the sale have 1 to 3 gaps in the corners (little white lines either horizontal or vertical. Anyone out there have knowledge or opinion on the margin gap in authentic and forged? Thanks, Tom |
