As there are a lot of German stamps with Peschl handstamps on the internet, and generally selling at good prices, I thought I'd send a Zep set to Herr Schlegel, with some Berlin overprints I needed to have expertised. The Berlin were fine, but the Zeps regummed - they certainly didn't look it, and the perpetrators seem to have worked out how to do it without getting gum onto the perf areas, where it is easy to spot.
The handstamp is neat, and not like the fake Peschl handstamps that have appeared on the internet. Someone is regumming stamps and has a very good copy of Peschl's little stamp, or maybe even the original one. I'm waiting for the reply from the person who sold me the set, following which I'll decide on what to do next.
Herr Schlegel's fee, including insured return postage, VAT and cert for the overprints, was 43 Euros - he seems not to have charged me for the fake, which he will no doubt handstamp. |
