Two Jean de Sperati Forgery Items, with a 1fr Céres imperforate pair (in carmine, with large margins, with "postmark" and signed by Sperati in pencil) plus a 25c Napoléon imperforate single (in blue, "unused" with brushed-on gum, very fine). A lovely pair of items, both accompanied by their original Bileski write-ups. (Image)
