I don't recognize it. Could be an expertizer's mark, but it's not a recent one. But then again, it would be highly unusual for an expertizer to use red ink. |

I have some stamps with a blue obl overprint. I cannot recall the country at the moment. I will have to do search and let you know. |

Is there anything about this Issue that would warrant
an expertisers mark?
Known varieties? paper?

Hi, "Is there anything about this Issue that would warrant an expertisers mark? Known varieties? paper?" Good question Rod222! I'm not sure about cancel/date too; district name, city name...? Thank you! CDNum https://picasaweb.google.com/CDNumStamps/ |

This is the mark of the respected collector Osama Bin Laden  On a more serious note this issue was forged by the British during WWI so it could be unusual in this respect but more likely an owners mark. Check watermark and paper against other if you have any. It is far to heavy for any self-respecting expertiser to use. |

I think the postmark is from Biebesheim (Biebesheim am Rhein) in Hesse. |

It does not fit the typical German convention for placement of expertizer marks. This particular placement would indicate a genuine used imperf stamp.
(Which doesn't prove that it is not an expertizer's mark...depending on when and where the mark was applied, it could have been made by an expertizer who didn't follow this convention.)
I'm guessing owner's mark. |

I thought about that, but "obliterate" wouldn't be the proper term in German. |

I toggle between the suspect and a copy I have
and both look similar, there is movement
down near Germania's right breast plate and hand on the sword.
The problem is, my only two copies are heavily cancelled as well.
Do we know how to identify the forgery?
