It is easy to identify these fakes when they are matched to a real stamp . The problem is these are being sold as REPRINTS at a high price to new collectors ,a comparison shows they are just fakes .

I'm not at home but if I remember well the first one ( 1900) was Reichpost and after ( 1902 ) Deutshes Reich

Can be wrong with the date but they have both inscription used

Peter,

The easy way to distinguish these is by the perfs. The forgeries are line instead of comb.
