The first airmail stamps of Bulgaria were issued in 1927 by overprinting existing ones.
As this was the height of the stamp packet trade, fakes soon appeared.

The stamps were not issued and the CV is much lower.
Unissued stamps |
Fakes
The fakes are easily identified by the poor impression of the plane
