Note: The cancels that were created are not crisp and sharp as the originals, and the killer bars often show flaws, because they are copies of the orignals. For more information about these Fraudulent postmarks and covers, and the general information presented here, refer to the "Naval Cover Fakes, Forgeries and Frauds, Part VII" article that was published in the August 2008 edition of the Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) LOG.
