Wert and anyone else who collects Newfoundland stamps:

One of the most comprehensive and definitive documents on forgeries and fakes was written by Ed Wener.

Its amazing and a critical resource when buying any high value stamp.

Here is the link

Thanks tommy and wert for the great reference. I have Newfoundland as one of my favorite areas and the article is right it is an undervalued country. Stamps are all beautiful.
