Egypt/Suez Canal Company (SCC) - 1868 - Full Set of Singles - Used - Selling as Forgeries
The company transported mail between Port Said (Egypt) and Suez between 1859 and 1867.
In 1868 these stamps were issued but they have not been used much and forged cancellations exist in abundance!
The stamps were lithographed in sheets of 12x10 stamps.
The sheet shows the watermark "LA+.-F" (La Croix Freres), but only a few stamps bear a portion of this watermark.
The SCC stamps were only in use for 38 or 39 days. Used genuine stamps with valid cancellations are extremely rare. Most of the used SCC stamps on the market are forgeries.
Consequently, we are selling this set as forgeries.
