I forgot to mention that I am trying to figure out where to put these stamps. Either my main album or the backup with fakes, reprints and so on. I have a lot to learn about WW stamps, but here's what I think. Please let me know if I'm off base.
I cant find much on the China treaty port stamps. I can't find them in my Scott catalogue, and don't have a specialized. They seem to sell ok on
ebay, esp. the Kewkiang. My guess is they're real, not weeds.
Scott says the Korea stamps were never placed in use and counterfeits exist. I guess they are (or were?) Scott #3 and 5. They don't get a regular listing with number, and the numbers jump from 2 to 6. I found great information on these, but it's on another board so I won't put a link. It helped me say without a doubt these are genuine.
The Heligoland are reprints. They go in the backup. I have this tendency to think weeds as forged stamps, but at least in this case most of the fake Heligoland are fake cancels.
The Sardinia Italy stamps are genuine; some color version of #11 and 12. Based on Scott, 11 wasn't reprinted but 12 was. So possible reprint, but I don't see the signs. Most of the forgeries are of the inverted head. I did find a great site for Italy forgeries here (go back to the home page for other options):

EDIT: Thanks Anthony. Glad to hear it, backs up what I was able to find. I spent some time typing all this in, so just saw your response.
