Hello all Stamp Masters,

recently I acquired 4 Stamps, which are as follows:

- Bremen 7gr #3 imperf
- Bremen 3gr #10 perf
- Bremen 7gr #13 perf
- Braunschweig 3sgr not sure on Scott number.

The Braunschweig 3sgr seems to have been expertised.
Is the signature on the back legit? Who is it by?

Do these look authentic? Thanks!

The Brunswick stamp, including its postmark, looks genuine, especially if it has a watermark.
As for the back, they might be owner's marks rather than those of expertizers.

The two 7sg values for Bremen appear to be forgeries. They are characteristic of the forger Bredemeyer.

The three value for Bremen is also suspect: there should be a dot right above the crown.

Also, that value was not among those that were perforated.

Greaden---- The first stamp in the scan for Bremen was perforated {the blue and black one }. The second stamp was also perforated but the color is off on all three of the stamps but that is hard to say with a computer scan .

Let me go and get my forgeries they are better to show original colors .

I stand corrected regarding perforation of the 3gr.

The 3 Grote is a forgery. The top right corner of the shield should be straight not chamfered.

As already noted, the 7 Grote stamps are forgeries. This is what a genuine looks like. There are many, many differences.



The Braunschweig looks okay but I would need to see a better image to be sure.
