The red stamp has a Gilbert (Prof. Rudolf Gilbert) signature, a well known (old time) stamp examiner. This signature is known to have been faked rather often so this stamp requires a new certificate. Why some idiot printed "smooth paper" along the bottom edge is anyone's guess, it was certainly not Gilbert. There is another signature at bottom right I don't recognise (probably of the idiot?).
I am still on vacation , when I get back home I would like to look at this issue .
This could be a Austrian specialist or even a Czech specialist who learned of a different type of paper used to print the stamp . They then marked the rear of the stamp . This discovery was made years if not decades later after the stamp was marked by the expert . Not ready to call anybody a idiot until more research done on the underlining stamp .
So at this time is it a forgery or did two different experts mark the stamp ,so is one of them wrong or both are wrong with the marking not sure
The mark at bottom right appears a monogram capital T either over or behind a capital M, oriented horizontally. It might be in the same colour ink as the 'hladky papir' mark.
