Greetings, folks!

I'm working on my collection of British forgeries of French stamps used in German-occupied France during WWII, and when I display them on my website, I'd like to display the forgeries side-by-side with the originals. But, I don't collect France, so I don't have copies of the originals.

I'm seeking 600 PPI scans of the following:

1938-39
Yvert 411 (Sc 360) -- 25c Mercury (green)
Yvert 412 (Sc 361) -- 30c Mercury (red)

1941-42
Yvert 435 (Sc 382) -- 1.50 Fr Iris (orange)
Yvert 506 (Sc 428) -- 30c Pétain (red)
Yvert 508 (Sc 431) -- 50c Pétain (green)
Yvert 511 (Sc 434) -- 70c Pétain (orange)
Yvert 514 (Sc 437) -- 1 Fr Pétain (red)
Yvert 515 (Sc 438) -- 1.20 Fr Pétain (orange)
Yvert 516 (Sc 439) -- 1.50 Fr Pétain (rose)
Yvert 517 (Sc 440) -- 1.50 Fr Pétain (brown)
Yvert 518 (Sc 441) -- 2 Fr Pétain (green)

If you can help me out, please let me know and I'll find a way for you to send me the scans. They'll probably be too large to e-mail.

Hi PostmasterGS

A suggestion. With a few people I have been using BOX cloud as a "transfer" medium: www2.box.com/home

With the free version you get 10G of storage. Uploading is slow but downloading is fairly quick. In any case it is a lot faster than Photobucket. Just set up a folder for the scans and share the folder. Send the folder share link to whomever is sending the scans. It is really simple to use. There are other cloud storage sites but this is probably one of the easier ones to use.

Postmaster GS-

I have Scott 360,361, & 382. (Unfortunately, my collection stops at ~1940, so I don't have the others).

I can scan them @ 600 and send them as email attachments if you want them.

Just message me with your email address, or you can wait for a better offer.

OK. Got the comparisons uploaded. You can see them here and here.

Special thanks to khj and jkjblue.

I'm still waiting on a couple stamps to arrive to fill the holes, then I'll post a nice show-and-tell thread covering all these issues.
