Below are a couple of images of a mostly used Italy 165 to 168. The value for postally used is much higher than for mint. So I am curious as to whether some folks could comment about whether the cancels are real or forged

Shermae, I love those stamps!
In my opinion, these cancels are the real thing.

On the second cancel (15c) I read 17-6-23 (according to Michel catalogue the stamp was issued on December 29 ) and "Ferovia" with a single R. Am I correct ?

Might the 30c have the same general cancel? Different date perhaps? It looks like the ending "O" and "A" might more or less line up on both?

Thanks very much for the input. It would appear that the incorrectly dated cancel solves the question.
