I'm not an expert when it comes to Italian cancels of this period. BUT, I do look for signs of the cancels being CTO, such as (1) cancellation too crisp in appearance; (2) gum on used stamps; (3) whether the cancel is similar in appearance to known genuine cancels found on definitives; (4), whether the cancels are dated and whether the dates are within 1-2 years of the issue date. Generally, these tests shoyuld eliminate the majorityh of CTO's or forged cancels. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2022 Scott Classic values this at $33.35.
