The next forgeries are all offered on old (genuine?) documents on Ebay (2005). The cancels seem quite dubious to me. I presume they were all made by the same forger, but I don't know who made these forgeries.
With pencancel and dots cancel
This is a badly executed forgery of the 1 cr value of the 1851 issue of Tuscany, it has a
pencancel, I've seen several of these forgeries.
An old document with such a forgery
I've only seen the 1 cr forgery of Tuscany.
I've only seen forgeries of the blue and yellow stamp:
Yellow stamp with 'Millwheel' cancel and blue stamp with cancel
'DISTRIBUZIONE' in a double circle with large '2' in the center
I've also seen a yellow newspaper stamp with the 'DISTRIBUZIONE III' cancel as in the newspaper tax stamps shown below.
2 k green and 2 k red (wrong type), the 2 k green with a
'DISTRIBUZIONE III' elliptic cancel
Forgery on document, newspaper of Milan, reduced size
2 k green forgery, with two very fancy cancels
I've also seen such a 2 k green forgery with a millwheel-cancel (as on the yellow newspaper stamp of Austria shown above). I've also seen the 2 k red together on a document with an imperforate 2 s green Austrian Italy 1859 stamp.
I've only seen these forgeries with pencancels
A forgery of the 15 p imperforate forgery (pretending to be a cut
of an envelope?) together with a 3 s of the 1859 issue. I've only
seen these forgeries with pencancels
