Dear all,

Love to see a active community like this one, well I'm pretty new too stamps started a few years ago and still got loads to learn and was wondering if some of you guys are able to help me out. I found this stamp in a collection I bought some time ago. I am aware that most of the time theses stamps are forgeries but was wondering if one of you could explain me if its easy to spot or not I know there are at least two kinds of this stamp with and without separated bows on the top middle of the stamp. But I see both getting sold as genuine. Also I never saw one with a circle cancellation there mostly diamond shaped so I presume its a fake but I would like to hear some opinions from others.


(the right part of the cancellation seems not right but it is)

Here's the copy of one with the bows in middle top touching the red frame. You can easy spot a lot of differences between the two but I just can't find out what's right and whats telling me for sure whats making it a fake.


Regards, Daniel

Hello! DFO! Vacallo is absolutely right on the first one, but the second stamp could be original. Maybe it is not so fresh....
Vacallo why do you consider the last stamp not original? I believe it is also in good condition. DFO can you show us the back?
