Royal Mail forgery cover from Mauritius ?

Hello Gandhi Philatelist,

Look at the following cover and think whether this is genuine or forgery ?

To me it's complete forgery.!!

Reason for forgery is that "TIME" on postmark cancellation from Port Louis is missing.!!

As we all know that Mauritius Gandhi Philatelic material with 1969 or 2001 Mauritius Gandhi stamps is nothing but forgery whether it's Register Cover or used covers send to India or Great Britain.

This is not only for Mauritius Gandhi stamps but also some of the famous Mauritius stamps such as DODO stamps as well. 

It's a same pattern used for all the forgery. Read following blog posts and you will surprised, by collectors creativity.!!

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/07/mauritius-stamps-gandhi-stamps-1969-and.html

Do you really think that this cover was travelled through regular postal stream and officially cancelled on Nov 7, 2005 from Port Louis, Mauritius as well as through Royal Mail and officially applied "Treharris Glamorgan" Royal Mail post office cancellation on 14 Nov 2005?

Do you think  "Treharris Glamorgan" is receiving CDS  and applied ILLEGALLY  from post office or forgery rubber stamp ? 

This cover is unique.!!

1) It has label with "Say 'NO' to the Euro!, Keep The £" with rubber stamp of UK Post Office "Treharris Glamorgan" dated 14 Nov 2005. (Not sure whether this cancellation is genuine or forgery too or legally applied).

2) It has a 2001 Gandhi stamp from Mauritius with cancellation of 7 Nov 2005. But it don't have time on it. So it has a forgery cancellation.!!

3) It has 3 blue label of "By Airmail".

4) Circular rubber stamp from Philatelic Bureau, Port Louis , Mauritius from Mauritius Post Ltd.

5) Sticker of Great Britain flag with "GB OUT"

So again, when it's unique forgery will be there.!!

So what do you think about Royal Mail cover from "Theodorerhys" ?

Do you think it has post mark forgery cancellation from Port Louis post office of Mauritius applied?

Do you think it has forgery rubber stamp (blue color) of Philatelic Bureau of Mauritius?

Do you think it has a forgery cancellation of "Treharris Glamorgan" or it was done personally by going to Royal Mail post office or officially applied by Royal Mail?

Do you think it's a Genuine cover (unique).?

Do you think all postal used cover including registered cover are forgery using fake rubber stamp ? because it's easy to forged and make more money than just selling stamps.

It's not only in Mauritius philatelic material but also everywhere you see in philatelic world whether it's British India or 1948 Gandhi used covers and first day covers, King George stationary or British India Queen Victoria different cancellation.!!

Of course it will look nice in your stamp exhibition, but you might have forged philatelic material in your vault!!

There is another forgery from Great Britain Gandhi Stamp on Royal Mail cancellation.  Following is the blog post.

http://gandhistampsclub.blogspot.com/2012/12/great-britain-stamps-mauritius-stamps.html

After looking to this value to me it looks like no one wants to collect stamps in this modern world, because there are lot of others things to do, such as play video games on ipad, xbox, gamecube or on internet surf on web or facebook or lot of other outdoor activity such a hiking, skating, running etc or watch different shows on TV or sports games such as Cricket or Football or Basketball or just talking on smartphone or chating.!!

After all this kind of things you don't get any more extra time to pursue your hobby of stamp collection were not that many people are involved and you feel like retard when you talk to friends.!!

Also there are lot of cheating such as Forgery stamps, Shill bidding, BOGUS philatelic material  involved in stamps collection.

ARE STAMPS FOR INVESTMENT ? : 75 Years of Salt Satyagraha Gandhi Stamp

Hello Gandhi Collectors,

Following are my previous blog post which will explain about large quantity of Gandhi stamps, FDC and Miniature Sheet available on eBay.  

1) Mauritius 1969 Gandhi Sheetlet with 6 different stamps

2) India 2011 Khadi (cloth stamp) sheet with presentation folder..

3) 100 Khadi stamp sheet from India

4) Chile 1970 Gandhi stamp with special cancellation(not sure)

5) 1969 Gandhi Germany stamp and FDC

So make sure before you buy Gandhi stamps and FDC because there are lot out there. Don't think it's RARE or unique.!!

You will read lot that stamps for investment but in reality it's nothing but false or incorrect information provided using blogs, website, newsletter, year books, catalog value etc.

Actually stamps value is declining instead of investment.

Now look at the following screenshot and you will be amazed that 100 Miniature Sheet of 75th Anniversary of Salt Satyagraha is still available for only $100. ($1 each.!!). But it's not pricing but shear # of stamps available.

Following will explain importance of this stamp sheet. It was issued in 2005 to celebrate 75th Anniversary of Salt March (Dandi Kooch).

(From Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_March)
The Salt March, also known as the Salt Satyagraha began with the Dandi March on March 12, 1930, and was an important part of the Indian independence movement. It was a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly in colonial India, and triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement.

This was the most significant organized challenge to British authority since the Non-cooperation movement of 1920–22, and directly followed the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence by the Indian National Congress on January 26, 1930. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (commonly called Mahatma Gandhi) led the Dandi march from his base, Sabarmati Ashram near Ahmedabad, to the sea coast near the village of Dandi.

As he continued on this 23 day, 240 mile (390 km) march to produce salt without paying the tax, growing numbers of Indians joined him along the way. When Gandhi broke the salt laws at 6:30 am on April 6, 1930, it sparked large scale acts of civil disobedience against the British Raj salt laws by millions of Indians.

The campaign had a significant effect on changing world and British attitudes toward Indian independence and caused large numbers of Indians to join the fight for the first time.

But there are lot of cheating going on in order to make STAMPS for Investment.

To know more about this kind of activity read my following blog post and think what are the possibilities in cheating, glorification, SHILL bidding, FAKE, Forgery etc.

1) 1948 Stamps False hope of Riches?
2) 1948 Gandhi Stamps: Are False hope of Riches - Part II ?
3) 1948 Gandhi Mourning Private FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part III?
4) 1948 Expensive Gandhi FDC : Are False hope of Riches - Part IV?
5) 1948 Gandhi Stamps Early Usage cover :  Gandhi Stamps Are False hope of Riches - Part V?
6) Maxi Card sold for $5100 with 1948 Gandhi Stamps - False hope of Riches - Part VI?
7) Indian Philately Exposed 
8) Indian Philately Exposed - Part II
9) Gandhi SERVICE overprint stamp price fell from $1009 to $1.!!
10) How can you tell that Gandhi SERVICE stamp is FAKE or Forgery ?

I hope all the above will help while making decision in investing stamps and to avoid getting CHEATED.!!

Now don't you think it does NOT make sense STAMP INVESTING!!

Thanks

3) Make money by selling TRIAL PROOF waste by stealing it or by art using Photoshop.

4) Make money by selling FORGERY stamps

5) Make money by selling FORGED special cancellation from different cities.

6) Make money by selling FORGERY stamps as GENUINE.

7) Make money by selling BOGUS - never exist special cancellation

8) Make money by selling LABELS - forgery or bogus

9) Make money by selling FAKE or BOGUS First Flight Cover FFC

Recently on eBay India I saw St. Vincent FDC  with 1998, 2000 and 2005 Gandhi stamps and I was surprised. Nothing change in 7 years.!! i.e. Simple Cover and Simple First day Cancellation.!!

FDC should have unique cachet printed on Cover and unique special cancellation related to theme of stamps, which keeps collector interested in collecting. If it is this kind of simple FDC then it's very hard to trust about this cover and collector will start questioning this kind of FDC.

Do you think following are Official First Day Cover ?

Now think what are the possibilities!! and also think whether this is really Official FDC from St. Vincent Postal Service.!! Bring it On!!

It's easy to make(DIY) this kind of FDC at cheaper rate because just print one cover (with Official FDC) and rubber stamp and start stamping on Gandhi stamp as well as different kind of stamps.!!! and FDC is ready for sale.!! Who cares about different cachet even though they are issued 7 years apart.!!

To me this FDC looks questionable and needs more research.!!

What do you think?

In future we all might see FDC from other smaller countries and this is how dealers and reseller (converted from collectors.!!) makes money.!!

Update:-

Following are some FDC from St. Vincent which has different cachet printing on cover depending on the person's work. Also it has special cancellation with theme of stamps. If you notice cancellation it is also very clear.!!

Above cover has different cachet on cover and different type of cancellation.

Even though all of the above FDC was issued on same date but it has different cachet, where as our St. Vincent Gandhi stamps has one cachet for all 3 stamps which were issued in different years.!!!!!!
