July 2020: and again a complete forgery of the "roast missionary". (on Ebay). This is one of the rubber stamp forgeries (the one with the white skyy). Maybe it was in sunlight for some time. An example of forgeries in line two here here. Offered as shown.

July 2020: A 20c on 5d overprint forgery. Pure phantasy - such a stamp was not issued. Most likely a computer print.

December 2019: And again a 5C forgery (Ebay). The seller offers it as "nsg" (whatever this is) and far at bottom "timbre non expertisé, vendu pour surcharge moderne".

November 2019: And again a 5C forgery (Delcampe) but the seller offers it as such - will the buyer say this too?.

Another 2016 May FORGERY

Here's what I saw today on an international auction site: a 1921 inverted 1d overprint. The "1d" is not identical to the genuine overprint and additionally is placed at the wrong side of the stamp: at bottom and not over the word "New Hebrides". I wonder if I get an answer from the seller when I asked him how it can be that the 20 known genuine stamps carry the overprint at another place.
But there is a heartbreaking story about a Baron Frederick Von Lubcke ......and a typewriter CT (22) on reverse......
I inserted a part of a genuine stamp with 1d at the correct place into the forged one - beware!

2016 May FORGERIES

Some 1977 VILA overprint provisionals are on the market at the moment on an international internet auction site which are rather primitive forgeries. Beware!

2015 Feb. FORGERY

This is ridiculous: A very poor computer overprint of the 5c with the wrong printing ink and then "Nouvelles Hébrides N°58A N* TB cote 1350 euros !!RRR" as a caption! Then way further down "Très RARE ,mais surcharge NON originale". Beware of this forgery - this stamp had a value of some cents but now it is soiled with ink and is worth NOTHING.

2014 Dec. FORGERY

Beware of this forgery: At the moment (December 2014) a seller at Ebay U.S. offers a forgery made with an image of the roast missionary stamp auctioned at Feldman Switzerland in May for about 400 €. It is incredible that some people are willing to pay more than 1 Penny for a newly printed little piece of paper.

2013 Sept. FORGERY

Beware of this forgery: At the moment (November 2013) a seller at Ebay U.S. offers forgeries of the roast missionary stamp. It is incredible that some people are willing to pay more than $US120 for a newly printed little piece of paper. The original is in my collection.
