The fake 5c has been printed in lithography and the "control mark" can be found at the back of the stamps. The "control mark" is deeply imprinted and not a complete sun!

The `control mark` spoils the whole effort of the faker! So easy to recognize!

No es eso, Leonardo. Fijate que en el sexto renglón de la pág 147 de Taullard dice "pasajeros" (sic). Seguramente se trató de un error del copista al pasar el texto manuscrito del autor.

Dear Rain, How are you doing ? hope you are well.

Let me put in clear words this messages and I hope I can help you this way.

The reallity is that on page 147 row 6 there was a tiping mistake from the editor, It does says Passengers ( In spanish pasajeros) but it should refere to a Pajaros that is birds.

So please cross out Pasajeros and read Pajaros, instead of passenger should go Birds.

All the best

Seba
