Going through old unsorted Hungary stamps, found a couple interesting things. Primarily this 1920 newspaper stamp (Scott P9). Not only does it have quite a misperf, all references to it I have found only have it as imperforated. Anyone familiar with this perforated (measured at 11)? - perhaps a forgery (why would be the question if, low value as it is).



Also including a couple attractive Romanian occupation (Debrecen) stamps (Scott 2N37 & 2N53), since I'm pleased to have found them :). I've heard these are widely forged, if so, would be old forgeries from around the 1940s/1950s, since that's when my grandfather obtained his collection.

Hello,
The Michel catalog indicates that this stamp is known with private perforations.

Hi!
For the second row,probably forgeries indeed,but who cares? Genuine stamps are valued by Michel catalogue at less than 3€

Interesting. All the printings of this stamp are imperf. and in orange. It could be printer's waste, or a forgery of an "odd" variety for the packet market.

Thanks for the correction. I couldn't find it in my SG Austria and Hungary catalogue.

Thanks for all replies so far. For comparison, I have imperf of that stamp (P9) and the other Hungary newspaper stamps.
