Hello,
I am first issue collector - begginer, and now I am looking for Finland No.1, there are few nice ones in auctions, but I also always check ebay.
Few minutes back I found one Finland first issue (SC1) in shop with 28.000 feedbacks, but there is something wrong with stamp in my eyes. Please can you check it?

Link of stamp-image is here:

Link of auction:

I checked Fournier Forgeries, and "HELSINGFORS" one looks very simmilar, but no totaly same:

Neither the stamp nor the cancel appear to be any of the Fournier forgeries. At least not the ones I'm aware of.

Both the stamp and the cancel look genuine to me, unless someone else sees something I missed.

The stamp shown is the large pearls in the posthorn variety.

I know the seller for YEARS! If it turns out to be bad I'm sure it will be no issue. They also go under the name's, Legion Stamps and Bellmore Philatelics and have been around for at least 25years. If you ask and pay for it they might even send it in for a cert. for you, since you are out of the country. But, I would ask before payment of course. I can provide you with a phone number if you wanted to call them.

Fournier Forgeries are often better then the real ones, this is likely the real thing!
