 Beautifully designed stamps, thanks for sharing. I'd like to have that scan to go alongside my singleton (forged I believe) |

Black print: 1: proofs of stamps pulled in black, not color of the issued stamp, from the actual printing plates: used for press releases. 2: Greenland: stamp-like labels, engraved by Slania and Rosing, sold by postal authorities to raise money for stamp shows.  |

(forged I believe) Thanks Rod222, you're welcome.  I'd be happy to confirm if your one's genuine or forged if you post a high definition scan or send me an e-mail. |

Doh!  I thought maybe we could answer Rod's question while he sleeps. Guess we'll have to wait for him to wake up. Maybe he does have a black & white example to put up here...  |

Cjd, I think you may well have been right. I really like that smiley - I've not seen that one before! |

[yawn] [stretch] good morning, No, you have it, the red example is all I own of the Russian sphere of influence. Crete is not a common stamp found in circuits sheets, mores the pity. ...now off to my Orange juice and pancakes. |

Hi Tony, If the Crete tridents are too polished for you about how a design that's a bit more "ugly"?   Crete SG R4 in blocks of 4 with the control overprint in violet and blue. |
