KURUNEGALA, Ceylon postmark on forged ST. VINCENT stamp
1899 QV 5/- green & blue (SG.75, Cat.£170 used), a forgery believed to have been cleverly executed by the Belgian forger Dr Julian Smeets by bleaching out the design of used copies of the 1886 Ceylon QV 5c dull purple (SG.195) to a give a "blank" CA wmk P.14 stamp; only immediately given away by the indelible ink KURUNEGALA (Ceylon) and MR 24 95 dated cds which could not be removed.
Few examples show trace of original design in the value tablet.

BAR (Barrouallie - previously unrecorded forgeries), St. Vincent postmarks
in red and black each dated AU 21 in slightly larger font than normal and intentionally without year on QV 1d drab (SG.37) in not possible for period red ink (actually too magenta in colour) but contrasting with what appears to be light full genuine red vertical “A10” (really rare if true); on 1885 QV ½d green Perf.14 (impossible as “BAR” taken over by extended Barrouallie cds by August 1884); and most dangerous of all 1883 QV 4d blue Perf.12 (SG.43) which if on its own would have escaped most expert eyes. A rare group which needs to be preserved for the record.
