The attached has some kind of marking. I cannot tell if under or on the surface of the glue. It is on multiple mint stamps of 1N26 - 1N37. Forgeries? Some kind of official postal marking? Certification? There appears to be some kind of signature scrawl to the left.  |

Very common in Europe when I was a kid. It is a dealer or collector marking.

Rod, I am not disputing what you said, but in the 50's lots of dealers and collectors did this, especially when the stamps where bought from circuit books. I believe it was meant to be a security mark.

Looks like there are two signatures on the back of the shown stamp . One in pencil and one stamped in ink . |

@wheelman, you may already have confirmed it, but for the quick answer, the expert mark is PAPE (Heinz Pape). It does not carry much weight as the genuine handstamp was used by others. There are forgeries of the mark as well, which appears to be the case here. |
