Confederate States Forgery

I am reviewing stamps I received in a collection, and don't know a lot about the confederate stamps. I am reviewing a #13 that I found against one I am pretty certain is legitimate. The one on the left I believe is legitimate and the one on the right I am pretty suspicious of. However, what little I can find of the forgeries of this stamp show them to be pretty bad. On this stamp I can find no obvious differences other than paper is a bit more white. I think the scott forgeries were pretty close to accurate, but I didn't see any information on a forgery for this number. Any opinions on this one? Thanks!

No answer yet so here are two sites for reference as I know little of Confederate stamps. http://www.jlkstamps.com/fakes/fakecsa.htm http://www.csafakes.com/fakes13.htm

A quick look makes me think the one on the left is a Springfield facsimile and the stamp on the right looks genuine.

Thanks for the information and references!

Both are good. No engraved forgeries of the 20 cent known.

Very good info I95. Thank you.

Yes, thank you, very helpful to know

Yes indeed both are Genuine. I have many of this issue and they are engraved. This is the important key. factor. Look at Trish Kauffman's site for a valuable tutorial.

Note: six year old thread 'bumped'.

No worries, we just try to mark it 'bumped' so other folks understand.
