Italian Facist Parcel Set

from a $200.000 estate, there was a nice italian collection, and this set mint hinged.
my knowledge of these are limited, any experts out there who can determine authenticity. Normally I would expect this kind of sets to be forged, but considdering the size and quality of the estate it could very well be a nice legit set.



backside of the 3 most expensive there are these, either owners marks or expertize marks?

These, are expertize marks, as Dr. Roig was a Barcelona-based stamp expert. But, being myself from that City, I seem to remember that someone told me beware of ítems with that mark, as after t'he death (many years ago) of the Dr. the mark desapeared. So...

The market price in italy for this set is around 700 euros with cert.The set mint without the overprint is 12euros.So I would be concerned to.. Your stamps have the bottom of the 'L' in Italiana a bit lower in some of the values as in the genuine certfied stamps.Also the bottom horizontal stroke of the 'E' in 'REP.'is a bit longer in some of the values.These are variable from one printing to another,as well as heavier inking...
There are 2 types ;36mm & 39mm in length.

Hello,

playing around with Gimp it looks like there is an erased script at the bottom of the stamp(?)

@ Alka2, no that's remains of hinge.

@Cursus thanks for the information, but doesn't really brings me closer to authenticity :)

@Perf12 these all seem to be 39mm

someone once talked about an italian forum like this, anyone know of it?

Perhaps, my information, brings you close to actual reality, not to your wished one... But, you're free to believe in what you want...

Normally I would discard these as authentic, selling them at low start with no guarantee.

but seeing as these come from a very large estate, they are just as likely to be authentic as they are fake.
and from what you've told, his signature was stolen/forged, but they also exist not forged i'd assume.

so far noone has argued that these are authentic or fake, just that there's a chance they are fake.
either way they are worth pursuing considdering where they came from.

Only Italian experts like Raybaudi would have the information of the exact settings for each of the values.
The stamps are from different settings put togrther.

P.S.:I am not an expert but as far as I know a clue to authenticity are the pressure indents on the gum side.
