Iran / Persia 1882 issue forgery, 10 centimes deep pink and rose, unused. In all three values of this set, the middle line of the right pillar in forgeries is thick and intact, while in the genuine stamps it is weak and fading at the bottom of the line. Also, the background of the scroll work and denomination are the same shade and color in forgeries while in the originals, the numeral's background is always darker, besides, the scroll works in the genuine stamps seem to have depth due to the shading of their edges, while in forgeries they look flat.
