Post & Go First Day Cover Forgery
Post And Go Labels are getting so popular with collectors that the first forgeries of First Day Covers are now appearing on Ebay!
As can be seen from the image below – Labels with a very high session number of 7066, issued from the Galleries Machine have been stamped with a Glasgow ’10’ Double Ring CDS of 8th October 2008.
But- 1) Only low numbers were issued in Bristol on that day and it was a few months before that session number was reached.
2) How did the cover travel from Bristol to Glasgow in the same day?
Glasgow '10' Faststamp First Day Cover Forgery 8 OC 08
Royal Mail Security have been notified of the misuse/missappropriation of this handstamp- all covers with this datestamp should be viewed with suspicion.
Obviously a Forgery- produced with intent to deceive.
