    1903: Superb Lyrebird 2 s. 6 d. green, the rare 'Postal Forgery' of this stamp, printed in a deep myrtle green shade, apparently successfully used in Sydney (but the Sydney cancellation also appears to be forged), matched with a genuine used example; together with the article by Robson Lowe from the 'Philatelist' detailing the original find of this Postal Forgery, these being the two stamps used to illustrate the article.
