1944 ŠIBENIK, eBay forgeries

Another fraudulent attempt. A seller from Albania is now selling fantasy fakes of the 1944 Second Šibenik local issue. Unfortunately, it looks like that there are buyers for such bizarre products...

1944 Second Šibenik local issue, a fantasy forgery of tête-bêche overprint. Buyers of such items can only be thoroughly naive collectors.

A list of some other "masterpieces" of forgeries from the same eBay seller. Note that none of these stamps was actually used for 1944 Second Šibenik local issue. Except for 50 cents but of course not with the tête-bêche overprint.

Printed version of the Manual

It’s been a long time since my last post. I have been busy with some other stuff lately. However, I managed to prepare material for the printing house, so a printed version of the manual is expected to be available by the end of January.

So far, almost a hundred collectors have received a free digital copy! I would like to thank you for your great feedback and donations. This is undoubtedly an inspiration for further work in this area.
