DODO stamps REGISTERED used stamp COVER - MAURITIUS postal department forgery ?

If you are not aware of things going in stamp collection than this blog post will help you.

In order to make money collector will create some unique philatelic material but mostly they will do this by FORGERY.

If you just sell stamps no one is going to buy it, but when you make unique covers with multiple stamps collector will buy it thinking it's genuine, but in real life it's a different story.

When it comes to postal used cover or used cover or register cover or private fdc (unofficial cachet or no cachet) 99.99% it's nothing but FORGERY.

Even some of the famous Gandhi stamps collectors were cheated by this cover.!! So BEWARE anything from Mauritius because rubber stamp can be applied on any cover.!!

Following is one of the classic example Philatelic Fake and Forgery in Gandhi stamp collection.

 If you have not read my blog post about Mauritius 1969 Gandhi stamp forgery then click one of the following link so you can save your money.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2013/02/royal-mail-forgery-cover-from-mauritius.html

After reading above blog post don't you think it's nothing but FORGERY.

Maker of this cover cheated with buyer who bought it in past by 

• shill bidding
• selling FAKE material
• making forgery of Mauritus rubber stamp (circular rubber stamp)
• forgery of registration rubber stamp ?

Following is screenshot from eBay were seller "theobargain" is selling it for $30.!!

Do you think seller "theobargain" is genuine seller or he/she has multiple id in order to fool collectors? We had seen this in past and it's a common practice to seller/buyer has multiple eBay id (it's free to open account).

Don't you think it's very cheap compare to other covers ?

Don't you think it's unique because it has all 1969 Gandhi stamps, 2001 Gandhi Stamps and DODO stamps from Mauritius.

Even though it's register cover there is  no back stamp rubber stamp from UK.!!

So what do you think about this MAURITIUS stamps -  DODO stamps REGISTERED used stamp COVER - MAURITIUS postal department forgery ?

Forgery or Genuine ?

Do you think Mauritius Postal department has time and money to go after this kind of forgery?

BTW: - Stay away from any used covers because 99% it's forgery.!! It's a gimmick made by stamp exhibitors in order to make money.!!

Mauritius dodo stamps

Hello Gandhi Stamps collectors,

In my past 4 years of experience Mauritius stamps are most forged stamps after India & China even though size of country and number of people.!!!

In this blog post I am comparing Mauritius DODO stamp and Mauritius Gandhi stamps cancellation, piece of paper and combination first day cover.

The Dodo is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

Recently I saw Mauritius DODO stamps  with well centered post marked on it from Agalega.!!

If you notice thoroughly then time on postmark is missing.

Do you think it's an ERROR or forged (where forger forgot about time.!!)? Or do you think it's genuine as it is from very remote island.!!

In past there was similar FAKE postmarked applied on 2001 Gandhi stamps from Mauritius.!! were creator of post mark rubber stamp forgot time and there has been time always on postal cancellation from Port Louis.

To read in detail click following link and you can see all other post mark from Mauritius.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2011/06/possible-fake-postmark-cancellation.html

Above postmark is without time.!! Recently I even saw modified version of this cancellation, which has time, but you can see the difference in numeric letter and alphabet.!!!

Whenever it's uniqueness (remote island or well centered) is involved there are more chances of forgery because certain ideas don't pop up at right time and when it pop's up it's too late, so there is always other option which is easy and cheap. Create a Forged rubber stamps.!

We had seen lot of Gandhi stamps on piece of paper and we found out that it was forgery. Also we had seen lot of British India stamp on piece of paper which are also forgery.

Now I saw Mauritius DODO stamps on piece of paper. To me it looks like very dark solid cancellation as if it was done specially to get good cancellation.

If it was regularly done then chance os missing lot of information on the cancellation are very high as it is done manually by postal employee.

What do you think about it.?

This are genuine on piece of paper or it's like other stamps on piece of paper. In past I had also seen 1969 Gandhi stamps from Mauritius on piece of paper, similar to following.

Compare above cancellation on dodo stamps with some of the forged or faked or bogus cancellation on piece of paper and you decide what is this dodo stamps.!!

Do you think it's a common practice to cheat by applying forged rubber stamps on piece of paper with stamps and make them it's used.!!?

Do you think Philatelic exhibition rules and category needs to be changed in order to avoid this kind of forgery so there will be more trust in collection hobby?

Now let's move to dodo stamps first day cover.

Now compare above cover with following and you will see similar cancellation.!!!

See time. It's 10 A.M. and if you look it's not properly because of space. To me it looks like applied seaperately

How hard it will be to MAKE new one.!! with time.!!

What do you think about above 2 first day covers with some uniqueness.!!!

Look at the difference in cancellation both are different.!! To me both looked forged.!!

Do you think it's genuinely post mark stamped on that particular date or it's just a different way to make money.!!!

Gandhi stamp first day cover with cancellation on 1969 stamp is complete forgery.

What do you think about dodo stamp first day cover.?

Do you think this kind of cover can make you win stamp exhibition? I don't think so.!!

Do you think this kind of  cover or piece of paper can be seen as INVESTMENT.!!

Thanks
