Our man obtained some genuine ink from the company stocks and painstakingly spotted in the outline of a 7 in the RH diamond leading to an uneven (not homogeneous) distribution of elements within the RH diamond. Unfortunately, he ended up with the wrong formulation and although it was good enough to fool most eyes (not Richard Debney's) it was not good enough to fool scientific analysis.
You and your shadow alter ego really should go into Pulp Fiction writing Richard.
The
'Scientific analysis' very clearly states this FOURTEEN YEAR OLD fantasy opinion did
NOT occur and no-one except you was 'fooled' - READ this page alone for the
EVIDENCE.
The number '3's would still be there, and would be clearly seen using SEM and EDXRF elemental mapping.
There are NO traces of any '3's anywhere, and that is a scientific proven FACT. Proven in reports on this very page, from REAL Experts, who HAVE examined the cover, and shown clearly in this image. Do you READ anything?
- This SEM Back scattered image of the 77 proves that there is no evidence of any 3s and that both 7s are clear and original
Richard - you have all the qualifications for a Fantasy Fiction Writer. YOU spotted this amazing fake
'IN FIVE SECONDS' - you very proudly tell us!
You clearly have
ZERO chemical, or scientific, or any formal qualifications, but truly minor impediments like that will not stop you.
All the three PHILATELIC Expert Certificates totally tossed your zany ideas out the door, and your
'reputation', which was staked on this cover being forged. As you clearly know nothing about stamps
or chemistry
or science - give fiction publishing a shot. New horizons etc.
You state here the armoury of Philatelic and highly credentialed Scientific and Forensic Experts ''are ALL wrong, wrong, wrong - and I am right''. Sounds a lot like Donald Trump's standard response. Must be an American thing? Let's see how that stance works for him. It has certainly failed abjectly for you.
It is like watching a drowning man clutching frantically for a lifebuoy - that rather sadly is not there.
So, to get it clear - your loopy storyline goes like this - ...
'SUMWUN' somehow found a tub of exact formula uncontaminated Perkins Bacon recess printing ink from 180 years back (!!!!) and then painstakingly painted in SIX number '3's to make them all into '7's. Quite brilliant work. On BOTH counts.
THEN, after the world's very smartest stamp faker completed this truly amazing feat, he placed the cover into a box of other mediocre GB material, and it sold for a song in Europe, as the faked '77s' were not noted or mentioned in any way, on the tatty part cover. SUPERB STUFF. What a stunning criminal brain!
It was indeed
the world's dumbest master forger, to pick a tatty part cover, with both sides of THREE stamps needed to forge this so cunningly, rather than a nice clean cover with ONE well centred stamp affixed.
One of the 3 stamp sides was so scuffed/abraded that touching a paint dipped one strand camel's hairbrush into the '7' area would see that red ink run into 100 different directions along abraded paper fibre strands due to capillary action. Again,
read the Radley Report, who advises you clearly of this bog basic paper fibre capillary
reality, that non chemists like you have never thought of.
Radley rips your quite childish argument into shreds, in minute Expert detail like that. He is a globally acclaimed forensic paper examiner.
YOU can spot 'fakes' like this in literally '5 seconds' you cheerfully proclaim. A stunning ability. A shame it is simply not true. Nor possible.
The only tiny flaw in this Wackadoodle Fiction, was that the endless
REAL scientist and expert reports summarised here above on this VERY page, that have stated and time again, there is
ZERO evidence of this alleged painting and alteration about which you bluster occurred. Under huge magnification, of all the 7s and the paper fibres in and around them.
Never happened.
Your Hero Professor Hall who you
'agree with' states that fact plainly.
Reedin and comprahenshun is clearly not your strong suit - go READ his letter above. Professor Hall categorically torpedoes your theory totally. Yet he is your idol??
'I have never found fault with any of Prof. Hall's findings'. You really can't make this stuff up.
You sadly will not make a good Fiction Writer Richard.
'SUMWUN PAYNT ON DA NUMBAHS' should be your working title. With magically sourced 170 year old recess red printing ink from Perkins Bacon of the EXACT chemical composition. SOOOOO well faked, there is zero trace whatever of the underlying '3' they of course needed to scrape/abrade away, before your CRAZY theory of
'PAYNT IN' 6 x new number 7s was then remotely possible. Again, you really can't make this stuff up.
Dredging up this
14 year old post from an unnamed, once member, of just 26 posts, who may or may not have existed, who refused SIX times to show any images of the alleged 'research' he/she had done on 1d reds, and who certainly never examined the cover as the real experts did, might fund you? Their procrastinations were debunked then, and have been, by a further conga line of REAL Experts since. Stick to adding YOUR
new observations here. (We know you have none, but the invitation is there.) Not dredging up 14-year-old now totally disproven arrant nonsense from a totally anonymous person.
Why is this person not posting their fiction here, 14 years AFTER it has been later debunked by real experts and reports? Hmmmm. As I recall a sum of MONEY was sought from you to do so?
Then they ceased to side with your Fiction. Hmmmm. Great fantasy fiction novel fodder.
Back to the REAL world of 2023,
not 2009 - YOUR knowledge of recess stamp printing is so poor, you do not know for sure whether the '7s' on the metal printing plate are level with, above, or are found under the plate surface, as you showed in the past 24 hours. You changed your story twice, after being challenged, and
STILL got it wrong. Highly impressive for an alleged stamp
'Expert''. There are
only THREE possibilities.
Time for a new career, it really is Richard. Because stamp detective work is one you have failed at miserably. All evidence from science and Expert Reports debunk your mad theory. I bet you ARE Swedish. YOU likely also think the
Tre Skilling Yellow is a fake made from gluing 2 different stamps together etc? NINE Neanderthal contrary *NUTTERS* there also held that firm view only decades back. Maybe THEY had access to 180 year old printer ink??? Maybe they can make another, by hand painting one in - there is a thought for your next Fiction book when this one flops?
Feel free to add any
new FACTS to this thread Richard, but re-posting all this 14 year old petulant childish 3rd hand dribble, now that you have been exposed again, is just derailing this serious thread.
Where intelligent philatelic minds have moved on from 14 years back, and are focused on finding
HOW this genuine cover came to exist.
YOU have nothing to lose - your reputation is totally gone, that much was established years back, but most of us want to sort the truth right here, as to HOW this '73' to '77' change occurred. There will be an explanation.
Go publish your Oprah best selling fiction work -
'SUMWUN PAYNT ON DA NUMBAHS' - by non-expert in anything - RICHARD DEBNEY - I wish you well. I will not buy one, but I'll ask my library to order one in, so others can share in the wonder of the American fiction.
In the meantime,
others here will no doubt work out one day, how '77' got engraved onto at least 3 stamp positions from plate 73.
