2013 GB - MF9-12g - 12 x 1st DK Red (W) MTIL/MA12 Bk *FORGERY-2*

£12.20

MF9-12 ** FORGERY ** printed on SBP2u Backing Paper. (Real 2012 issues were printed on Plain Backing Paper). Light Blue Barcode

Contains forgeries of 12 x 1st NVI (SGU3029-12).

Stamps have a fairly crude "iridescent" overlay.
There is no lettering on the Queen's head or on the simulated phosphor bands.
There is an MA12 at the front of the forehead, but no sign of any source code.
It has a fairly convincing SBP2u Royal Mail backing paper.

My Ref: I don't catalogue forgeries

Cover Rebrand with Chevin font and deeper red. ( The cover is forged very well, and it would be challenging to identify these from the real thing from the outside)
Of course, in real life, the Chevin Font was not issued until 2016.

Simulates Pane SAP170 from Booklet of 12 1st Class DARK RED stamp from Walsall Booklets of 12 in Gravure with Security Code MTIL and MA12 plus "U" slits.
( The stamps themselves would pass muster with a user but not with a collector, the background security printing is very poor

Found in 2019
