Parma Italian State Second Opinion On Authenticity

Hoping for your assistance on opinions of validity. I think it's a #8 and that it's real. Thanks in advance

It is a forgery.Wrong letter shapes. No slant in the top 'STATI PARMA'.Overall thin letters..

The original stamp also shows a lot more fine engraved detail in the background of the fleur de lis, as well as the outer field behind the crown.

The background behind the fleur de lis should be made of fine, distinct horizontal lines, while the field around the crown is hatched vertical and horizontal lines. In both cases, the individual engraved lines should be visible. Both backgrounds on this stamp just look like smudges.

From my collection ,both red and reddish brown issues .

Both of Floortrader's stamps are highly likely forgeries. Would have to see them a closer-upper.

Scott doesn't even price Parma #8 in unused condition. That would suggest it's a very, very rare stamp, and that would also suggest this isn't real.

Not sure if this one is real, either, but you can see much greater detail.

ROGDAM ----Can you put up what you got .Please do not put up the charatistics of the 1852 issues and apply them to the 1854 issues ,they are different .


Then I will put up my forgery collection on Parma .

Thanks guys. Disappointed, but clearer. I found it buried in a large collection I just bought and I thought maybe, just maybe.. I did really we all on this purchase already though. Lots of pieces I'm questioning so I'm sure you'll be seeing more please for help.
