After many people feel safe to focus on the analyse of the paper types I like to show a stamp which was issued on a slightly different newspaper papers (structures, surfaces) and I like to make a small riddle for the experts!
Is this stamp a forgery or genuine? If you have an answer, please explain your opinion!
The image is too solid, too clean and neat. The paper is kind of modern made high pounds of force, tight, solid paper.
Origin newsprint are more loose and texture is uneven.

Yes, good, you are right! It's a FORGERY! I just mention this example because NOT only the paper are important. This stamp tried to copy the position 7 in the sheet (left side of the double sheet of 9). Please compare this fake stamp with a genuine stamp from the same sheet position. To judge stamps also carefully look at the drawings.
The sample comes from this nice block with shifted overprint
Nice block sample with overprint shifted. Very good comparison of position 7, obviously as I mentioned, the image is too solid, too clean and looks like perfect. Just compare with the genuine one (your block), the printing color, shades, paper texture is more uneven and loose. Perhaps DFHK's expert had made a careless mistake
this time. What a pity, honest buyer!
