A lot of four stamps, identified as forgeries of the German Reichspost high-value issues of 1900, intended for study and reference purposes. Item Details Type: Forgeries (for reference/study) Imitates Scott Catalog Numbers: 62, 63, 64, 65 Imitates Denominations: 1 Mark, 2 Mark, 3 Mark, 5 Mark Condition: Mint, Hinged. Historical Context This lot consists of forgeries of the four high-value definitive stamps issued by the German Empire in 1900. The genuine stamps featured elaborate designs representing the power and unity of the Reich. The designs imitated are: 1 Mark: The Reichspostamt (General Post Office) in Berlin. 2 Mark: An allegory of the unification of North and South Germany, with the motto "Seid einig - einig - einig!" (Be united - united - united!). 3 Mark: The arrival of Kaiser Wilhelm I in Berlin, commemorating the centenary of his birth (1797-1897). 5 Mark: Kaiser Wilhelm II addressing the Reichstag, with the motto "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Gott" (One Empire, One People, One God). Due to their high face value, the genuine stamps were targets for forgers seeking to defraud the postal service or collectors. Such forgeries are collected as reference material to study the printing methods and characteristics used to imitate the genuine issues. Combined Shipping We offer combined shipping.
