This section showcases various forged, reproduced, and misleadingly altered French stamps. It includes crude facsimiles, Fournier-type forgeries with identifiable design flaws, fakes printed on incorrect paper, and later reproductions openly marked “Faux.” It also presents notable historical forgeries, such as the Turin Fakes of the early 1900s, alongside pre-cancelled reproductions sold through modern philatelic channels. Together, these items illustrate the range of deceptive practices collectors may encounter.
