Peter Winter - German States Forgeries

Peter Winter founded the company ProPhilForum POC GmbH which in 1986, operated from a post office box address in Bremen, He began to produce and sell replicas of more than 180 of the world's most valuable stamps, both on and off cover, for modest prices. 
Some of the reproductions were determined to have been made not from the stamps themselves but from copyright photographs which Winter had obtained from the British Library in London by means of a false declaration of intended use.

Forgeries
I am not describing the forgeries, only showing them. In a few case where you see 2 divided stamps, the genuine is on the left, Winter forgery on the right.
