These stamps were overprinted 'medio real', 'un real' and 'dos reales' to be used in Comayagua and Tegucigalpa with or without additional frame (*** to RRR).
(Genuine overprint)
The blue stamp (see above) is a forgery, the colour is wrong, it misses the two stars and the branches in the design (it is the third forgery described in Album Weeds, I have seen this same forgery in the colours red and green). It has the cancel 'CORREOS 7.1.6? II-III', which also exists on forgeries of other countries (Uruguay for example). This is the third forgery described in Album Weeds. It also exists with a 'FRANCO' in a box cancel. There are at least 6 forgeries of these stamps, I don't know if the other stamp is genuine.
Two other forgeries, the first one is very primitive, the second
one (in red color) is made by the same forger who produced the
blue forgery shown above.
"CORREOS" forgeries.
Other forgeries:
Forgery with second 'N' of 'UNION' almost touching the pyramid.
I've also seen this forgery in black on red. The arch connecting
the two towers does not have a central line. The left star is
badly done. This is most likely the first forgery described in
Album Weeds.
Forgeries, reduced sizes
Other forgeries
I've been told that the next stamps are 'Krebs Brothers Imitations', I have no further information:
Krebs Brothers imitations
Forged surcharges as found in the 'Fournier Album of Philatelic
Forgeries' (reduced sizes).
