Welcome to Rainer's Iraq Railway Stamps Pages |

Forgeries |
||||||||
Even a little collected area as the Railway stamps of Iraq is not free from forgeries, however, very few forgeries and faked items were noted till now.
So far I am aware of following fake items:
NEW: Today (18 October 2015) noted 3 "reprints" of Railway stamps of the 5th issue. The stamps are described as reprints on thicker paper. Since there are no official reprints these stamps must be considered as forgeries.
A faked cover with the reproduction of the Baghdad North postmark, dated 17. March 1939
A faked cover with the reproduction of the Hamza postmark. to Baghdad, dated 12. June 1938. |
