Mauritius 1859-1862

 Genuine stamps
1858-62 4d green

1858-62 6d Vermilion

1859 9d Dull Magenta


Sg 30 & 31 unissued
They were perfed and stamped LPE 1890 London Philatelic Ex. and were given out as
souvenirs

Forgeries

Spiro sold forgeries

Oneglia forgeries sold by Fournier
The odd background is the key feature






Fournier forgeries
Mauritius forgeries that Fournier sold were forged by Oneglia

Fournier sheets apparently supplied by Spiro or his source




A rather primitive effort
