There are covers with these stamps that seem to had genuinely circulated. In my opinion, they look like CTO... but what do I know. They have certificates with big names on them.

I'm a bit reluctant... but that's common in me when I deal with covers anyway.

Nice presentation from hobby colleague Wil!

I don’t know is somebody mention before. The stamp market is inundated forgeries of the Coat of Arms or “Big Guayanas” (Guayanas Grandes), see Scott local stamps # 11 to 15 A2. Scott clear explain the key to identify the real stamps from the forgeries: count the ornaments (flowers) in the horizontal bottom or top margin.

Forgeries: 10 flowers

Real stamps: 9 flowers
