HPY-FRG-CNL-01

Not Recorded

Just looks off a printer, LT too far spaced (typical windows type setting), i don't think month slugs had padded 0 - i.e. should be 1 not 01 ?.. Code letter A too big, should be same size .. Thoughts?

Further incidents and analysis of this and HPY-FRG-CNL-02 and HPY-FRG-CNL-03 suggest identical stamp?.. possible this includes a forged stamp as well as cancel?

HPY-FRG-CNL-02

Not Recorded

Unsure if same ebay seller but a possible second attempt to deceive based on feedback from ref 01?, this time hiding the A and including a double digit day

Exactly same stamp (image) listed and sold 4 times (that i am aware of) - see library images

HPY-FRG-CNL-03

Not Recorded

Identical stamp characteristics as HPY-FRG-CNL-01, 02 with similar profile of multiple listings of the same stamp suggest a concentrated deception using multiple seller identities and varying cancels

Same image (stamp) listed and sold twice (was more, didn't record)
