I can't find a perforated # 11 with "SPECIMEN" like this one, acording to UNITRADE all the specimen are imperforated.
some one can help me...? could it be a forgery ?

Just a guess from an old fart that's been collecting for a long time. Maybe a NS company at the time picked up a sheet of specimens and did a private perforation with the intention of using the stamps. If they are genuine that's all I can think of, unless a sheet of specimens got mixed in with the real #11's and got perforated. Weirder things have happened!

I am afraid what you have here is a bad forgery furthermore forged with a specimen overprint. I have seen these offered on eBay many times & they are almost always listed as forgeries. You can find them in colors and denominations matching the authentic issues both with and without the overprint.

You guys amaze me with the amount of information you carry around! You know so much about the many forgeries that are out there. I'm following another thread as well where people are talking about the NS forgeries and can even say who probably did the work. I've been collecting for a long time but still have so much to learn!!!!

There used to be an article on this site showing examples of Canadian fakes and forgeries. I downloaded it and have it in my files. I'm not sure when or why it was removed but I can send the file to whoever wants it or have it put back on the site. The author is Nelson Laviolette. I'm not sure if there is a copyright issue.
