Dear Fellow collectors,

I have been collecting stamps for more than 3 decades. I have gathered some rather strange stamps and cancellations that I have no idea what their value is. The following are some examples.

Both the Tibetan stamps and the Japanese Occupation of Burma have been very extensively forged. The Nepal and Tibet Study Circle Web site http://fuchs-online.com/ntpsc/ may help to determine if this is genuine. I'm not sure about online resources for the Peacock overprints. That appears to be an SG J25, which would be a £225 job if genuine. Obviously one to get a certificate for, from the RPSL or BPA only.

thanks guys for the sharing. it must definitely take an expert to determine if an overprint is forged, it is even harder than determining a stamp forgery imo. Anyway will get it checked up.
