I wasn't even aware that fakes of the Baldwin 4-4-0 Locomotive existed and I can't find anywhere that states that there are any. Album weeds only lists the S.S. Adriatic for the stamps of 1869.

I found one possibly, perforation does not mach up, its must be 12 but its clearly 11, I'm just asking because not sure is it fake or real.
I have tried to much up images original and one I found, clearly perforation did not mach up.

The perforations could have been altered (re-perfed), but that would not make it a fake. I have hundreds of this stamp, but have never come across a fake.

Like there others sugested, they never come accross fake one, so probebly it is original, unless some one can post some example.

Here is the pic from the ebay sale (from a seller in Germany):
Not the greatest resolution so if you can scan it yourself when you get it it would come out better here.



edit: ah, I see you have posted it in your first post on this thread. Thanks.
