Lucian Smeets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Lucian Smeets was a Belgian stamp forger operating around the early 1900s.
Smeets used a sophisticated method of taking an original stamp with the correct perforations, paper and watermark for the one he wished to forge, fading out the printing and then printing a new design of the desired stamp on the blank.
Among the stamps Smeets is believed to have forged are:
- British Solomon Islands Protectorate canoe stamps.
- British Victorian stamps.[1]
- Nevis.[2]
- Serbian stamps of 1901 and 1904.
