Thanks Classical. The Sperati forgeries of the Vancouver Island stamps look quite good.

I was going to ask if you were familiar with Ken Pugh's work on Canadian / BNA forgeries, but I see that you link to his page on your site. He has done some excellent research. The last time I contacted him, he was looking for more examples of the Frodel forgeries. Here's a brief summary of Frodel's work. If you want to own some, however, you need deep pockets - $8500 for this collection! Ryan |

Unfortunately, I don't - yet - own copies myself though. Thanks for the tip regarding Frodel's forgeries of Canada. I will add those to my forthcoming Canada page. Interesting auction. Talk about deep pockets  If you have any images that could improve my BC page please share |

Here is my scan of the 2c BC No. 8. It is not a forgery, but the perfs on the right appear to be "adjusted." I took that into consideration in my price. |
