Hi again 😊

I am very thankful to the initiater of this topic: For years, the cancel on the 2 skilling forgery had me wonder – what’s going on, haha?!

I was lucky to buy one of those beautiful Bayern Dienst Siegel prints. Here is a scan with this and the forgery, and in addition two related forgeries.

These forgeries are obviously very old. Origin? As mentioned, I don’t think they are related to Gebrüder Spiro. I have a set of what I think are Spiro forgeries, and these look quite different. What I think could however easily be wrong.

Zitat von KlangRausch

a weird "wow" from me now

"Was für ein schöner Tag! Die Sonne scheint und die Schmetterlinge zwitschern (Sänger Cro)" I agree. And Strong friendship between Germany and Denmark.

Zitat von bayern klassisch

Well, then I wonder why a Bavarian official used his Dienst Siegel (official seal) on a forgery, which would have been forbidden in any case. Funny thing!

Extremely funny and strange

Hi bayern klassisch,

yes, it is a forgery. The design deviates hugely from the genuine stamp. And in additon, there is no watermark. It's a very old type - however not made by Gebrüder Spiro.

Hi Klesammler,

The point is that the cancellation is a Bayern Dienst Siegel.

Hi,

I have a Danish 2 Skilling forgery (!) with a "cancellation" that is very close to what you have on display.

Best regards

Carsten, Denmark
