Railway cancel 'AMSTERDAM - EMMERIK'; I've seen other railway
cancels such as 'SITTARD-HERZOGENRATH' and 'UTRECHT-ZWOLLE'.
Cancel 'ULRUM' on a 3 c green stamp and 'DELFT' in a large circle
on the 17 1/2 c.
Imitation of the 3 c green value in smaller size
Postal forgery of the 10 c value. The design is quite blur and
the size is slightly larger than a genuine stamp. It is listed in
the book 'Postal Forgeries of the World' of Fletcher.
Forged overprints of the '1 GLD' (blue) on 17 1/2 c blue and grey exist, see: http://thestampculture.blogspot.sg/2012/12/the-1923-fur-collar-1-gld-overprint.html. The blue overprint is too dark and the 'K' of 'TEEKEN' is smaller (especially the top right arm).
Also forged partly perforations exists on the 5 c imperforate stamp. The stamp is perforated at 3 sides and either the bottom or top has a large 'F' added to it (genuine stamps do not have such an 'F'). This forgery is described in P.F.A. van Loo's book on forgeries.
