A pair of 4 Tr.
forgeries, frequently offered at Online Actions.
Note the the small rays from the ring point
outwards, typical for these forgeries!
In the 1980th, a dealer from India,
called Lodha, produced a very large number of fake covers.
Furthermore, some other scrupulous
forgers produced a large number of covers. If you see covers like the
