A. Alisaffi

Material produced by Alisaffi was included on the representative album of forgeries prepared by the Union Philatelique de Genève after François Fournier's death in 1927.

Alisaffi was operating in Paris in 1902 when he produced by a photolithographic process reproductions of the small and large Hermes Head stamps of Greece.

He subsequently received a permit allowing him to sell the stamps as they were without gum and no longer the current issues of Greece.

The permit allowed him to sell a large quantity of stamps and over 30 different types are known, including imitations of both the Paris and Athens prints.

[2] The forgeries are well known to specialists in Greek philately and were amongst those discussed in the work of Walter Dorning Beckton.
