Notes

Todos "Deluxe" souvenir sheets like this were produced by the British counterfeit producer. This series taken from the Stamperija produced Owls and Scouting series. How the counterfeiter obtained the source imagery is unclear. These counterfeit deluxe sheets were never offered on the Stamperija website and were and are only offered by the British counterfeiter and his associated counterfeit distributors. BEWARE of fake color proofs! Anyone selling these should be avoided!
