Fournier - Forger or Dealer?

We know that Fournier sold forgeries from many sources. But, on his passing a lot of equipment was obtained by the Bern Communications museum. It included ...
Photo enlargement equipment, print templates, print samples, print clichés, wooden stamps, stamp paper, stamp printing machine, stamp overprinting machine, perforating devices and embossing machines.
I and others are of the opinion that Fournier did indeed produce & sell his own forgeries from acquired equipment and dies His proofs are a good indicator of the forgeries he actually made.
