(RCSD) Ceylon Forged Overprint
(RCSD) Ceylon Forged Overprint
Here is a scan of (Ceylon Scott #88) with what appears to be a forged overprint. http://www342.pair.com/elerner/stamp...88-ejl4166.jpg At least, the seller is honest. He has marked the back of the stamp as "FAKE". http://www342.pair.com/elerner/stamp...8-ejl4166b.jpg This looks like Scott #117, but is a lilac rose shade. Wmk 2. I believe that there is a note after Scott #123 that describes this forgery. Would anyone have any further information on this item? Blair |

Blair SG Commonwealth says: "The 5c on 4c rosy mauve and 5c on 24c green, both watermarked Crown CA, previously catalogued are now considered to be forgeries." No indication there as to when/why they were declared non-kosher, but I have an old, 1933, non-SG cat which includes them at CVs in the range £10-£50. The above disclaimer is in the oldest SG I have, dated 1993. Chris |

I will have to try and dig it out, to see what they had about it. Cheers Blair |

It's still listed in my 1984 Part 1, at £150 mint/£100 used.
Robson Lowe includes this warning in a box and in bold DANGER Collectors and dealers are warned that there are many very clever forgeries of the rare surcharges and errors in these provisional issues. However good the source, they should not be purchased without the certificate of one of the British expert committees. but he still lists this stamp, unpriced mint or used. Tony |
