1/2 Sch has the traits of a genuine and appears to be a 1a
1 Sch has the traits of a genuine
1 1/2 Sch has the traits of a genuine
3 Sch is not genuine and appears to be an 1887 reprint
4 Sch is a forgery not a reprint - uneven not overlapping rings unlike the 1 & 1.5 are a first clue
This is a fairly good outcome as the forgeries and reprints far outnumber genuine ones in auctions
With some effort these can be plated
My Bergedorf article should be up shortly
Reprints fall under these dates
Thank you very much Ron.Where I fund your article about Bergedorf stamps?
