Espionage forgeries and propaganda parodies

It is a great pleasure that we are able to publish a brand new series of booklets on the subject of espionage forgeries and propaganda parodies. The author - Wolfgang Baldus - is one of the most well known specialists on these stamp issues. In the next few years we will publish further booklets - all covering the 20th century.

This series of booklets dealing with postage stamps that have been produced or forged for propaganda purposes during the wars in the 20th century. These wartime forgeries of postage stamps represent a field of philately that is generally regarded with distrust by collectors. A main reason for this distrust is the mysterious history of these stamps. Official dates and facts about the originators of these stamps are fragmentary.
