I presume these forgeries of Baden were made by Venturini. The stamp forger Fournier applied the perforations and cancels and sold them afterwards.
Note: on my website many of the
pictures can not be seen! They are of course present in the cd's;
contact me if you want to purchase them: evert@klaseboer.com.
A.Venturini was a forger from Italy in the early 1900's. He lived in Pisa, Turin and Florence.
According to "Philatelic Forgers, their Lives and Works" by V.E.Tyler, he made (or at least sold) forgeries of Swiss Cantonal stamps, French and French Colonies postage dues, Spain, Baden (see below), Monaco and Tuscany. He also sold Spanish and Portuguese colonies forgeries. If anyone has more information, please contact me! Also, according to the same source, he might have obtained his forgeries from Oneglia.

An imperforate 30 k stamp of Baden? Possibly a Venturini forgery.
