Hi all

Did anyone hear of the futsches reich stamp? Its not a offical stamp but looks like one
Also does anyone have one? I heared about them but found nothing about someone still having one . Maybe they all got destoryed but I am convinced that theres some left.

Hi labprofess. This stamp is a well known official "forgery" done by British intelligence during WWII to discredit Hitler.
You can find more on this if you use the search function on this page.

Here's another website with a rather extensive history on these.

I've got this sheet of 4, which it turns out is a facsimile of the forgery. Go figure!

These can be found available for sale from reputable dealers without too much difficulty, although the "genuine forgeries" aren't necessarily cheap. One must be wary of forgeries of this forgery, however, as they are probably more prevalent than the real thing. And they are never (or almost never) found with genuine cancellations on them.
