I know that the Basel Dove has been extensively forged for more than a hundred years. Some of the forgeries look really good I must say. The one below looks like the winter forgery which is very very close to the genuine. The '2' below the '1/2' for the genuine one looks slightly thicker, but the rest looks about right.

Below are 2 genuine stamps, the doves for the genuine ones are apparently quite nice looking as well.

The following are 2 of the better forgeries. They are so good I actually don't mind owning a forgery.
