The "Peacock" overprints of this country are a minefield of forgeries. If you have some in your collection, assume they are forgeries unless certified by a trustworthy authority. Unfortunately, I don't have any high resolution images for comparison: stampforgeries.com/forged-stamps-of-burma/ |

Unfortunately, I don't have any high resolution images for comparison: stampforgeries.com/forged-stamps-of-burma/Never had one in my possession. I did see a beautiful 2 frame exhibit, at the University of Western Australia about 5 years ago. Lovely stuff. Highlights my pet peeve. The exhibitor did not pass on any knowledge as information sheets that accompany exhibits doesn't seem to be a part of philately. Exponet is one route. |
