Forgery

Original

By this time (1924) the printing quality of Estonian stamps has improved sufficiently to make it rather easy to distinguish original from fake stamps. These forgeries are characterized by lack of precision in hatching, shadows and borders all over the stamp. The enlarged details shown below are just samples from the numerous deviations you will find if you study these stamps with a good magnifier. Currently, I have aquired three fake issues from this set, and there are probably forgeries of the same poor quality of the whole set...

I don't think these forgeries are made by Jaan Lubi - They are uncancelled, and I have never seen this set described in any of my sources regarding Lubi's work.
