Fakes and Forgeries

An Outstanding Reference Collection

The PF has in its possession a large amount of faked and forged material. Over time, parts of the fakes and forgery collection will be placed online.

In helping to determine if an item submitted for certification is genuine, it is important to have on hand a reference collection of both genuine stamps and forgeries. The PF is proud to have in our possession a wide range of forged material to supplement our outstanding reference collection of genuine stamps. Several collections of forgeries are being made available to philatelists through our web site. Click on any of the links below to view this reference material.
