Forgery of a 'BIGLIETTI DI RICOGNIZIONE POSTALE':
Imperforate forgery, reduced size
I've also seen modern perforated forgeries, in which the design is made out of small photographic dots.
King Victor Emanuel II
A postcard with the image of King Victor Emanuel II surrounded by pearls exists (no inscription, no value), similar to the one of King Humbert (see next images). I've seen it in two shades of brown: dark brown and redbrown. Sorry, no picture available yet.
King Humbert
Postcards exist with King Humbert surrounded by pearls (no inscription and no value). Furthermore a 7 1/2 c red and a 10 c red (see images above). Other postal stationary exists (money transfer cards) with the image of King Humbert.
I've been told that the next stamp is an essay of 1862:
I've also seen this essay in the colour violet (also 2 c).
So-called 'Essay Bigola' of the 1863 issue, 15 c red, I've seen
this same essay in grey and blue (both 15 c)
Essay Grazioli of the 1863 issue; I've also seen the values 10 c
red, 10 c brown and 10 c black on green.
More essays of the 1863 issue, I've seen the 40 c in the colour
green and the 60 c in the colour black on yellow.
A 'Wentch-Essay' of the 1863 issue
Modern forgeries exist of some essays.
