Good Evening Everyone,

I have a couple screen captures of Italian States - Sicily and Tuscany. I would like to know if these are fake or not. I have resources but could use an expert opinion please. Someone here could probably identify the fakes easily - I'm at best a novice.

I appreciate the help and thank you all!

SICILY:

TUSCANY:

As far as the Sicily stamps go ;they all look genuine except for the 4th stamp 2nd row.
The 5 grana stamp far right may have a forged cancel but not certain.
They are all in poor condition,trimmed with no margins,idem for Tuscany.
Nice for study if it's a very cheap lot....

Difficult given the poor pics,but the entire lot sold individualy could be sold on e bay for over 150 euros .I have some doubts about the 1 Crazie Tuscany (nice margins) ;they look forged…
The main value would be in the Sicily stamps….(I refer too the Italian marketplace).

Typical forged cancel on forged stamp.Seller is asking $472.00.....(keep walking).
