Do we have an Expert in Persian (Iranian) stamps?
I am reviewing a few stamps in my collection. Sellers call those stamps "PERSIA IRAN 1903, Unissued with overprint, Scott CV 200-260), as for example: http://www.kmphilately.com/index.ph...2&b=10142705

*
at the same time - I found a Guide for Persian stamp forgeries...and these supposed to be forgeries:
http://bigblue1840-1940.blogspot.co...nPersia.html
Can I trust that article?

Please help!
I have more Persian stamps, so, I will be thankful for any information, pictures or links that you can share.

Any early Iran are fakes or forgeries 99 % of the time ,especially if you got them in a collection or mixture lot . If you didn't pay decent money for them with certificates then they are fakes . Sorry to tell you every collection or mixture lot has been inspected and checked over the last 30 years about 5 times before you ever viewed it ,in most cases .

I have an album full of just Persia - I'm no expert, but greatly admire their stamps up to around 1970. I haven't even bothered checking my very old ones - I just assume they are all fakes. I hope yours are not, but at a glance they look fresh and clean, like they were just run off the press.

Thank you for all your comments. Actually, the stamps are not very clean and collorful, it is my scanner very good ))))
The paper of the stamps is interesting - extremely tin...
4 of these stamps has a gum...)))
What's the point of making forgeries like these?Just to fulfill albums making them look completed?

I was thinking to ask about Saudi Arabian stamps, but double checked and found that my "oldies" are canceled, so... at least some hope that Saudi Arabian stamps are real.

Aurora, post a couple of your Saudi stamps. Can not hurt a thing, and you know what you have if we can see them and comment.

Mr. Stang,
!!
If be honest - ...at the time of reviewing and organizing my stamp collection I used to put aside the glassine envelopes with stamps of Persia, Iran, Iraq...Saudi... I am sure, I saw the portrets of the King (?) or President (?) - the Man that is shown in your last comment. I remember - I saw him on the stamps a few times...on many stamps...
It is fantastic that you offered your help....and Lucky me (!!) - I do not remember in which exactly box I put the little envelopes with the stamps!!

Alphabetically... I had to organize everything alphabetically, not in accordance to the importance, "maybe later", "when I will have a free time", etc.

I will find the stamps, just give me some time.
