First issue of Kingdom of Saudi Arabic (Counterfeits)Proclamation of Emir Saud as Heir Apparent of Arabia. 1934,Jan. (comp.set Sc# 138-149 (12)) - Perf 11 1/2 or Imperf "The postal administration of Saudi Arabia states that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued its first postage stamp (in a set of twelve denominations) in 1934, to commemorate the proclamation of Emir Saud as Heir Apparent of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Genuine stamps are found in perforated (11½) and imperforate versions. They were printed at the Government Stamp Printing Works (Makkah) in small quantities. The postal administration of Saudi Arabia also notes that it is very difficult to find these stamps on the market, especially the 1 sovereign value, which had the highest face value and of which only 20,000 copies were printed. These issues are rarely available and are in great demand amongst collectors.
These counterfeits were issued in violation of the provisions of article 63 of the Universal Postal Convention and of the national legislation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In accordance with article 63 of the Universal Postal Convention and the national legislation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the necessary steps have been taken to find those responsible for producing these counterfeits. A table listing the respective characteristics of genuine and counterfeit examples of these stamps is annexed. The postal administration of Saudi Arabia would also be grateful if all UPU member postal administrations would inform their philatelic partners of the existence and distribution of these counterfeits and exercise increased vigilance in their own countries"(2001-K. J S McKEOWN-Director of Communication and Postal Markets) "link

I only have a few of thes, so it would seem to be a good place to post. This is a set of 5 brightly coloured bogus stamps which were reputedly produced as “An Issue from Arabia” as a souvenir at a stamp event in Poland. The Arabic is unreadable and does not help. Date is unknown but 1920’s is likely. The five values are listed in The Reference Manual of Saudi Arabian Forgeries.
They exist imperf, perforated 11½, mint or with an equally unreadable Arabic cancel as shown below. Sets of 5 sell at auctions for about $30 |

Thanks to all for this most informative post. As a Gulf States collector, I have been extremely wary of buying stamps from the Hejaz, Nejd and early Saudi Arabia eras due to the fake issues that exist. I have always suspected that these stamps might be fakes, due to their condition, the state of the gum and their perfs (or absence of). I would welcome an expert opinion, based on this scan, please. SG 316-8 (imperf) and SG 316-9 (perf)  |
