I looked until things started getting fuzzy on these and still have no idea if any of them are genuine. If someone could please help it is greatly appreciated.

You got a 99.9% chance that those are fakes . Can I ask you where did you get them and what did they cost you .

wheelman: if you plan to get serious about early Persian issues, you will need a Persiphila catalogue (www.persi.com).

I have this in paperback, which unfortunately is sold out: www.persi.com/books/persicat2002/index.html

The hardback is $75, and a different, later edition is more. You might check with a used philatelic bookseller like Leonard Hartmann www.pbbooks.com

This link gives a bit more information: www.persi.com/forgeries/1902...ts/index.html

The Serrane Guide, published by the APS, doesn't cover this issue other than saying do comparison. Focus on Forgeries, by the late Varro E. Tyler, covers the 1906 issue, not 1902. Hope this helps. Steve

Thanks for the assistance.
Floortrader, these are from a really old lot that I acquired many years ago and just started the process of adding to my collection. I honestly do not recall what I paid for them. I've used my copies of Album Weeds and Focus on Forgeries and am running in excess of 75% genuine on stamps up to Scott 151. It is carefully assembled by the PO with glassines between the pages and many MH but the majority used with some CTOs but a lot of genuine cancels as well.
Steve - Thanks for the links. I'll look into them and see what is available for purchase.

If you are a Facebookite you can also show good scans to the Iran Philatelic Study Circle and get really well done opinions.
