re: Faroe Island stamp real or fake

The eBay posting
Image Not Found

Sold at a high profile auction
Image Not Found

Conclusions on eBay listing

Same overprint & date - unusual!
Shape of "2" is incorrect
Star in cancel incorrect
Letters of city awkward - note the "T" is tilted
One stamp shows heavy foxing not on the cover or other stamp
The back of the stamp indicates they were placed on the cover at different times
FORGERY
and NOT a very good one
At $40 I believe the seller knows this - should be at least $140
