Forgeries All other values are bogus. Glossy black overprint is bogus. A certain D. Gronich brought 100 sheets of Austrian stamps in all values to Kolomyya in August 1919 and managed to get them cancelled there. He later overprinted these in Cernauti. In september 1919 a couple of speculators managed to get hold of the original dies and cancelled a lot of unused Austrian stamps. After that the three dies were destroyed. |
Overprint colour The overprint is said to be dark blue-black ink. Genuine items have been found with greyish blue-black ink. As for the black-violet or violet overprints, the case is not that clear. In catalogues it is mentioned proof surcharges in blue or red. Normally overprint proofs are made on paper (see Romania 1918 overprint). These "proofs" are also made on some stamps that did not get overprinted and is not mentioned in the text of Mr Chernyavskyj.
