The Steinberg Covers: Forged Swedish Covers From The Classic Period (2015, Obermüller-Wilen & Hällström; Steinbergbreven) A fully illustrated listing of 207 recorded forged classic Swedish covers presumably made by Robert Steinberg and Hannelore Rosenberg (both of Germany); they also made other European cover forgeries. Sold starting in the late 1960s, many of these "dangerous" forgeries initially received "good" certificates. In 1980 the fraud started to be revealed, however, many of these covers are still offered and re-offered in the market. This book illustrates all 207 and discusses the features that assist in identifying these particular forgeries. A very important reference for the collector of classic Swedish postal history. Cardbound, 35 pages, wonderful color printing.
