In the case of the first Serbian issues from 1866 I don't have any genuine issues to show for comparison. Thus, I can only point out the most imporant characteristics to identify these forgeries.
The genuine issues are line perforated 12 (Mi #1-3) or 9 1/2 (Mi #4-6). Although 
several perforation errors exist, Michel does not list any imperforated issues of these first
stamps. The second issues of 1867 (Mi #9-10), however, are imperforated but have values 
of 1 Para and 2 Para. My issue could therefore be a grave mistake by the forger, or a 
sample where the perforations were not added (or were later cut off). The shown forgery 
has some similarity to Billig's  Type II forgery [1], but he does not mention any 
imperforated versions either. This could therefore be a third type. 
The most obvious design characteristics are:

Again, this forgery has some similarity to Billig's Type II forgery [1], but not as an imperforated version. This could therefore be a third type, or a sample where the perforation is later cut off. The most obvious design characteristics are:
