Description
SET OF SURINAM, NETHERLANDS AND KOREA POSTAGE STAMPSColony of the Netherlands, capital Paramaribo.A bogus issue of Surinam (or Dutch Guiana) was issued in 1861. A crown in the centre of two branches, the inscription reads 'Post Zegel', with value below and one of the numbers '1 8 6 1' in each of the corners. The stamp is printed in black on blue, black on violet or black on red. It was listed in one of the first stamp catalogues 'Standard guide to postage stamp collecting' by Bellars and Davie (London, 1864). It is also listed in the Mount Brown (1862) Catalogue of British, Colonial, and Foreign Postage Stamps (see www.archive.org ) where it is listed as"DUTCH GUIANA. Crown surrounded by wreath, date indicated."(both catalogues without images). Other people believed this stamp was issued in Dutch Indies. It has never been discovered who made this stamp and why. I don't have a picture of this bogus issue, if anybody possesses a picture, please contact me!
