Classic Forgeries. Relatively crude and amusing selection of 19 different thoughtfully prepared but "won't fool anyone" GB overprinted Officials and Niger Coast/Oil Rivers overprints on Queen Victoria and Edward VII period issues. The Official overprints (including doubles and inverts!) appear to be rubber stamped and the Niger Coast/Oil Rivers overprinted stamps all have UK cancels (a pretty dead giveaway). As genuine these would catalogue in the tens of thousands! A great reference group, as these are from a very old collection and may be listed in some specialized literature published over the past century. Estimate
