Following my zoom presentation of early North Borneo forgeries (https://youtu.be/vMNFV2fjut8), Jon Higgins has been kind enough to let me share his display sheets from 35 years ago. Please do not use the images here without stating their origin. Jon is the vice president and president elect of the Sarawak Specialist's Society.
These forgeries are very profuse and can be present in up to 30% or more of collections of this issue. On eBay, the forgeries are repeatedly being offered as genuine and many unsuspecting buyers keep on buying them as real. Do not get me wrong. Forgeries are worth collecting especially for study but one should pay the correct prices for them. This blog contains a lot of information about these and other forgeries. Readers can use the search box on the upper left of this page to get to these articles easily.
