CONGO REPUBLIC ILLEGAL STAMPS
2004

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Congo Republic

The following images are of illegal stamps produced for Congo Republic. Please remember that the producers of these illegals are not only greedy, they are crude and sometimes disgusting which is the nature of these people.

To find out what stamps are real and legitimate for Congo Republic visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Congo Republic section.

The Universal Postal Union WNS website

I have found the Colnect online catalog to be helpful as well although there are "conflicts" between what is listed there and what is on the WNS system.

The Colnect Online Catalog for Congo Republic

Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is upgraded as of 2023 and shows counterfeits that may be missing here.

The Colnect Online Catalog for Congo Republic Illegal Stamps

I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be helpful as well although again there are "conflicts" between what is listed there and what is on the WNS system.

Or use a respectable catalog like Scott or Stanley Gibbons. Do not listen to these dealers trying to convince you they are something other than illegal stamps.

You will find the styles and designs of the following illegal stamps completely different.

Here we go!

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and as color proof sets as well. Some exist on fake First Day Covers too.
Most times now (2019) the souvenir sheet sets and sheetlet sets are sold individually. Many times the stamps have been removed from the sheetlets and souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions.

Sellers that call these "private", "locals", "Cinderella's", "unauthorized" are deceiving you. They are illegal stamps produced by a stamp dealer that is bent on ripping you off! Some sellers state "we offer them because they are on the market". Well how about you use a different dealer because that seller is "on the market"? If the stamp societies, auction sites and all other venues kicked these sellers off of their sites then they would have to comply or lose their ability to sell anything.

The following images are free for the use of all to use to alert the public to them. If anyone wants to make a public list of users on eBay, Delcampe and elsewhere who are selling these issues....fine by me since the UPU, PWMO and others appear to have given up or have not been updated in years.

If you have purchased any of these stamps from a dealer or if that dealer offers them, you should avoid that dealer! You will only be supporting illegal stamp makers who are only ripping you off.

2004

In 2004 numerous more counterfeit illegal stamps with different topics appeared on the market. All appear to have been produced for or by the Feigenbaum's. All are available on the Avion Stamps website. I found better images from scattered sales on eBay and Delcampe but a couple are exclusive to the Stampdile database.

In 2004 Congo Republic did not officially issue any stamps according to the WNS system and the Colnect and Stampworld Online Catalogs.
Therefore any stamp dating 2004 in the name of the Congo Republic is a counterfeit illegal stamp!

Following are images of the illegal stamps I have found offered for Congo Republic dating 2004. There may and probably are more. All of these I found in searches on eBay and Delcampe and all are illegal stamps made by producers bent on ripping you off!

I present them in alphabetical order of titles as there is no logical order for illegal stamps.
