Gebrüder Senf

Gebrüder Senf, or Senf Brothers, were stamp dealers that produced the Illustrierten Briefmarken Journal along with bonuses in the form of facsimiles/forgeries around the turn of the 19th Century. Their "reproductions" were intended to gain more readers who wanted to fill spaces in their albums rather than to defraud them. Their creations all appear to have either FACSIMILE or FALSCH overprinted or included in the printed design. Further, their forgeries appear to be lithographed vs. the genuine being engraved or typographed.
