Fakes Forgeries Experts

Fakes Forgeries Experts is a specialist annual magazine focused on forged, altered, and otherwise deceptive material in philately. Its subject matter serves the expert and collecting communities by examining the identification, documentation, and interpretation of philatelic forgeries. The publication was established in 1998 and is issued by Postiljonen on behalf of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie and the International Association of Philatelic Experts. This institutional connection places the magazine within the international framework of organized philately and professional expertise rather than the general-interest publishing market. The magazine’s editorial history includes Paolo Vollmeier as its first editor-in-chief. Knud Mohr subsequently assumed the position beginning with issue number 7 in 2004 and later continued in an honorary editorial capacity. Jonas Hällström is identified as the current editor-in-chief. These editorial changes indicate continuity across multiple periods of specialist publishing while preserving the title’s focus on expert knowledge about fraudulent or questionable philatelic material. Fakes Forgeries Experts functions primarily as a periodical publication rather than as a broad consumer brand. Its core offering is the annual magazine itself, with content directed at collectors, dealers, researchers, expert committees, and others concerned with the authentication and study of stamps and related philatelic objects. Publicly available reference material does not establish a separate corporate ownership structure, headquarters, founding individual, financial profile, or detailed product portfolio beyond the magazine. The title’s institutional publishers and sponsors provide its principal organizational context.

Fakes Forgeries Experts was established in 1998 as an annual magazine dedicated to the study of forgery in philately. Its remit concerns the specialist examination of fraudulent or manipulated philatelic material, a field that is important to collectors, dealers, researchers, and professional expert organizations. Unlike a general collecting magazine, the publication is defined by an expert-oriented subject: the recognition, analysis, and documentation of fakes and forgeries. The magazine is published by Postiljonen on behalf of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie and the International Association of Philatelic Experts. This publishing arrangement associates the title with established international bodies in organized philately and professional authentication. The available reference material does not identify a separate commercial parent company, corporate owner, headquarters, or founder beyond this publishing and institutional context. Paolo Vollmeier was the first editor-in-chief. Editorial leadership later passed to Knud Mohr, beginning with issue number 7 in 2004. Mohr subsequently remained connected to the publication as honorary editor. Jonas Hällström is identified as the current editor-in-chief. The succession reflects the continuity of the title as a specialist annual rather than a short-lived one-off publication. The principal product is the annual Fakes Forgeries Experts magazine. Public reference material does not provide a complete issue-by-issue bibliography, circulation data, pricing history, detailed distribution information, or information about associated merchandise and services. On the available evidence, the brand should therefore be understood as a focused philatelic reference publication whose identity is grounded in specialist editorial content and institutional links within the international philatelic community.
