| The forgeries of 1876 issue
These forgeries are thought to have been made by Fournier, the French forger. Their appearance is quite crude and not resembling the original issues. Almost all copies found with dotted cancellation. Although their colors is similar to the original stamps, however, they are not quite a match. The following photo shows all four values. |
The forgeries of 1879 - 1880 issue
The origin of these forgeries is not known. The only examples known were made for the Five Chahis or Five Krans in four different colors. These are also very crude and can simply be identified. Apparently they have been printed in sheets of 25 or possibly larger. Some specimens exist with double perforations with different gauges (shown in the picture below) with no obvious reason.
