I purchased it from a dealer in luxemburg. <br /><br />I also acquired an authentic 1969 Fiji Cancel from an auction house. I will attach the pics as I get time. Additionally I have seen an authentic Fiji Cancel on a used cover. I will provide a pick if I can find it. <br /><br />I am speculating that these authentic ones were probably used as a format to create fakes.<br /><br />But the general rule is be careful when you are buying any cancels, especially on a un-used cover, the probability of it being a fake are very high. <br /><br />Remember postal cancels are something that cannot be certified by BPA or RPS. It's not their core competency and they even lack the foresic tools to do it.ZIP CODEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528728766442390374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906012704266272802.post-11928744152450192372011-03-22T23:50:05.985-04:002011-03-22T23:50:05.985-04:00Hello Maulik,
Thanks for writing about this 1969 ...Hello Maulik,<br /><br />Thanks for writing about this 1969 Cancels(Rubber Stamp).<br /><br />This is the base of my research on cancellation. And because of this I saved lot of money because of you.<br /><br />I think all 1969 Gandhi Cancels are FAKE because it was easy to make in 1969 and no one can track it down because at that time world was very small as only communication was through postal service.<br /><br />Some smart person did a great job of making it and spreading it as a real pictorial cancel to make money.<br /><br />If goverment of Fiji, Burma, Luxenbourg, Czech Republic really want to honor Mahatma Gandhi, they should do by issuing stamp instead of just Rubber Cancellation for that kind of big event. <br /><br />Now a days world is smaller so we can contact by email, search on internet etc and can find out more information about this kind of cancellation.<br /><br />So I will avoid this kind of material as it does not make sense to me. <br /><br />Unless I get a solid proof from that countries postal department I will agree with you.<br /><br />Thanks<br />KP.Ketankumar Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914871030336643169noreply@blogger.com
