General
These fakes are not very im-portant as they are easy to regognise. So take this pages just as a nice collection of picture postcards from the New Hebrides.
The "11 AOUT 08" forged cancel: easy to recognise and existant only with this date.
PCH Type 5
This is the genuine PCH Tpye 5 cancel.
11 AOUT 1908
This is the 11 AOUT 08 forgery.
Main differences to the original are: Underlining of NELLES
is correct but characters are much to big. The date block is amateurish and known only with the date
11 AOUT 08.

The similarity with the postcard 22 Aug 07 in Forgreies I can give reason to think that both cancels were forged

A sample from the Crompton coll. It suggests that the forged cancel Goyns-Klinger type PU9A was used in 1912. But this is surelxy misleading as the cancel would have been applied later.

This was the second time in the last two years that I saw this weird forgery of a New Hebrides postmark - actually it is no forgery
but a complete fantasy product. It bears no resemblance at all to the real postmark GK types PM1 or PM2.
