So the images below I emailed along with a bunch of other CSA stamps to a certification company (won't say which in case they might be reading, lol) and he told me all the stamps were fakes/reprints. While I valued his decision, I was frustrated because I thought I had researched them a fair amount, especially CSA #2 (pictured). I wanted to know your thoughts.
I did try and look at a lot of the signs of fake/reprint CSA #2, but I don't seem to have a lot of them. There is no line through the A of States, there are bother vertical and horizontal lines in the background, the S and G of Postage aren't malformed, the 1 in the upper right 10 is not smaller than the 0. Just trying to figure out if this is a reprint why I'm having a hard time comparing it to Sperati, Taylor, Upham and so on.



edit: The CSA #'s are what my untrained novice eye thinks it might be, and shouldn't really be used at face value.
