Does anyone have any insight into these stamps? I know they are the "Imperial Dragon" issues of China. Real or counterfeit? 1878? 1882? or 1883?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

Yes, these are mine. They were in an old 19th century album I purchased a couple of years ago. Cool

Here are some individual stamp scans.

Really should have them looked at by an expert, as these are known to be counterfeited.

re: Early China ID

How would I go about having them expertized? Through APS or someone else who specializes in China? Any idea of cost?

Thanks!
