Wow!
thanks for the nice words.
Great to see other fans of the "cut squares" they do gain affection when you begin to get a few. Grab them whilst they are still only pennies.

Sundry Revenues. Cape of Good Hope.  Lovely scan of the 1d Internet auction 2014 Suggested as a De la Rue print. Hope looks reflective, even forlorn?  |

Rod, it looks like a De La Rue print to me but I'm by no means an expert. Here are a couple of 4d triangles I recently won in an auction and have had one of the leading experts offer me his opinion. De La Rue Die B. His description in part; "A lovely De La Rue 4d blue showing the classic De La Rue woolly impression (patchiness in the background behind "Hope").  And the Perkins Bacon, also a Die B  |

Lovely scans Nigel, Thank you. So hard to get good scans of the issues, for comparison. I cannot afford these items, so I just collect the "leftovers" De la Rue certainly had it over Perkins, no contest there. (Nice triangular Barred CGH postmark you have as well) These inspired me as a kid, when I read Stanley Gibbons story of the stamps he started with, from the sailors.  |

Nice scans Sopot, I agree with Stallzer, but nice to have clear images of forgeries, very helpful. You have a nice "Argus Wheel" Postmark, Type 1 I think.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/201811085716 target _blank rel nofollow 201811085716 /a a.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> |

I suspected most of the triangles were fake, but I hoped that maybe not all of them.  I have one more such cancel.  |
