Bogus and Forged Russian Stamps and Postal HistoryAs a specialist dealer, I spend a great deal of time checking stamps myself and sending material for expertising. Some of my clients co-operate closely with me in this work. Whenever I can, I buy in reprints and forgeries and offer them to clients at modest prices, enabling collectors to build up their reference collections. In the recent past I have acquired big stocks of forged Western Army, North Western Army, Refugee Post, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Poland. Most of this has been priced for sale at from £0.30 to £5 per stamp. I reserve the right not to sell forgeries to a would-be client if I feel there is a risk that the material will subsequently be passed off as genuine. I keep Approval books of Bogus and Doubtful material which have been very popular with clients. For more details email me. Trevor Pateman |
