I recently bought a collection and found these Reunion stamps within.
1. Appears to be a #1. Legit, reprint, copier creativity, or forgery?
2. Same question for same image on larger square of paper (note ink and paper colorations.)
3. Appears to be a #32 except Scott's doesn't have this spelling variation on the overprint listed. It is very lightly hinged. An I overlooking Scott's number or...?
Any help much appreciated!

The first and second images show forgeries.
• the crescent shapes in the corners are wrong/badly done.
• there should be two short dashes between "Timbre" and Poste"
• the "1" of "15" should be a short capital "I" with serifs; the "5" is wrong
• the outer frameline of the original is actually two thin lines closely spaced. That's not what Scott says. The reprint has one thick outer frameline. #2 looks like a badly done copy of a reprint.
• the original and reprint are typographed. #2 and #3 don't appear to be so. If you put a magnifier on each and see unsharp edges to all printed areas and a haze of minute dots around them, they have been done on a computer printer.
