What I collect: Worldwide USED up to the 1960's, later years from countries that came into existence after then, like Anguilla, Tuvalu and Transnistria.

Interesting stuff, BC. You had me running (well reaching over to my left) for my 'Civil War Postal Issues of the Russian Revolution 1918-1923' collection that I got at auction last year (and posted somewhere here) to check all the Azerbaijans in the book. All authentic (a touch disappointed, because I do like forgeries, but I'll live), but did find this 1r Farmer at Sunset with an interesting plate flaw. Two diagonal black lines running across the image. I suppose printing standards on these weren't that stringent, so this may not be that surprising, but still...

Nice scan James. Perhaps those lines are constant on a particular position of the sheet. Notice also the yellow color shift. Here is a close-up of my 50r forgery with quite a shift. |

Lithography.
I am not au-fait with the printing process, however these lines have been referred to as "Doctor Wiper Blade" lines on other stamps, leaving similar lines.
It would need a printer to explain if this were possible on these.
The wiper blades cleared excess ink of the screen before the next pass, on other stamps.
