Catchy title I know. Found it on Stampworld.com and nearly fainted. Just wanted to see what you all think. I'm figuring not real. I have to ask though where would you send something your not sure of to be authenticated.  |

Northern0, as a member of the APS I would consult them. In Canada I believe you have the Greene Foundation. But I would go ahead and wait a bit. No sense in spending money on something you're not sure of.
Good luck.

You amaze me Peter with your quick responses. I still have to do some research on this stamp on my own, just hoping someone might know a good forgery sight I could check out. Here's to hoping. Thanks again Peter. |

Hello Northern0, the perforation seems ok, that shouldn't be to neat which is the case. I collect Eesti for a long time now, to me this stamp looks genuine, but you should have an official certificate before doing something with it. |

The lettering of EESTI doesn't seem to match that of the genuine example on "Stamp Forgeries", but that may be my dodgy old eyesight. |

Yeah, this one needs an Estonia expert, and in this case I'd assume fake until proven otherwise. The dangerous forgeries are made from genuine imperf issues with genuine overprints; in those cases, comparing the stamps to illustrations won't help. |

You make a good point there codehappy. Been staring at this stamp for a couple days know. The thing I find funny though is that both 1's in the 10 and 1923 are different. Is this consistent with a genuine or not?? |
