I got this online for a song and so suspect it is a forgery but ... I'm not sure why so if anyone has specifics on why it is I'd appreciate it since then I'll add it to my forgery collection with an appropriate note :-)

Interesting. According to that website the stamp is authentic as the serif on the left one is full sized.

BTW I have seen the below webpage on the 1925 stamps and the indications of forgery but nothing there would indicate a forgery - hence my question :-)
