Portuguese India stamps

 Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Recently I saw Portuguese India stamp on piece of paper.!!

Yes, it's on piece of paper with somekind of lines on it as postmark cancellation.!!

Above pair of stamp was sold for $1061.!!!

Not sure how someone can pay $1061 for Portuguese India stamp without any authenticity. Not sure how you can tell whether this is forgery or genuine.

But's it's good for eBay/PayPal as they will get about 8-10% commission and for Government of India as they will get income tax from this kind of expensive sell. Also not sure how it will be shipped outside the country as it is 100+ years old antique material, which are not allowed illegally.

We all know that there is lot of forgery in Gandhi Philatelic material as well as in British India stamps and philatelic material, so what are the chances of Portuguese India.!!

I think there are lot of chances because it's very easy to make rubber stamps and God knows what happened in past when there was very hard to find any information.

We can't trace properly for 60 years ago philatelic material in Gandhi philatelic material so following is 140+ years.

In past I wrote about Forgery cancellation on East India Company stamp from Penang Straits cancellation. You can see that forgery cancellation of India used abroad in following screenshot of my blog.
