Erroneous overprints exist of "N.-C.-E. 5" and "N.-C.-E. 15" on 2 c, examples:
Bogus overprints(?), 'postage due' stamps, made by Fournier (the stamps are forgeries, look at the perforation):
(Fournier forgeries, educed sizes)
There seems to exist genuine overprints with this 'T' in a triangle, but they are very rare (bogus?).
Other Fournier forgeries:
(Fournier forgeries)
Fournier forged cancels (reduced sizes)
I noticed that in many (all?) Fournier forgieres, the "C" of "CALEDONIE" is joined to the first "E" of "DEPENDANCES". For more information on these forgeries click here.
