There are quite a lot of forgeries
of Bulgarian stamps. Most of the forgeries, however, are of cheaper stamps
and do not receive much interest in philatelic litterature.
An important characteristic
of Bulgarian forgeries is the method of perforation.
Often the forgers of Bulgarian stamps have been careful to create the correct
perforation dimension, but on many of the forgeries the method of line
perforation has been used. These can then easily be distinguished from
the originals with comb perforation.
- I would like to express my
sincere thanks to Henning Pedersen, Denmark, for lending me many of the
forgeries you can see in these galleries!
