In 1912 3 labels for the Children Welfare fund were issued, however, they are not stamps, inscription in German, French or Italian: 'Viel Sonnenschein im neuen Jahr!', 'Soleil et sante a tous!', 'Un'anno di sole!' (all in different colours):
At the backside of these stamps a text is written (different language for each stamp): 'Für die Jugend Der Ertrag dieser Weihnachts- marke dient zur Bekämpfung der Tuberkulose bei den Kindern' or 'Pour la Jeunesse Le produit sera affecté à la lutte contre la tuberculose chez les enfants'.
I know that the forger Peter Winter has made forgeries of at least the red label, examples:
