Thanks Klaus for the alert on this issue

Regarding these material that I call "Doubtfuls" and all the issues coming from Stamperija, a rather interesting situation occurred last week. 

The philatelic sales site WOPA announced the Maldives as a new country they were to represent. This meant starting to market all the stamps inscribed "Maldives" released by Stamperija. For example for the year 2016 only,  there are more than 60 different issues. Each one composed of minisheet and block. 

WOPA received many negative comments on that decision from the collectors and customers of its site. They then decided to suspend the entry of Maldives to the list of countries they represents to study the situation more closely. 

We will see how this theme evolves ...

DOUBTFUL - Djibuti 2016 (III)

Code: DJB-2016-03
Release date: some day in 2016
Title: Centenary of the 1st Battalion of Infantrymen Somalis 
Format: Minisheet of 4 stamps

Proposed monument in 1921 with a faux lighthouse to be builded in Pointe de Grave in France after the WWI.  The monument finally erected did not follow this shape and was destroyed in 1942 by german forces.

It is not clear why this para-philatelic item combines this proposed monument with the phrase Pointe de Grave 1945.  

Thanks Jaap for the alert on this issue.

DOUBTFUL - Djibouti 2016

... and with this release,  we open the 2016 season of Doubtful issues.  Is good to remember that I list these stamps here only to inform.  I do not promote the collecting of these items.  I do not have them in my collection and I do not waste money in it.

And apparently Djibouti is a new client starting this year, of the lithuanian based philatelic agency Stamperija.   So,  expects a flood of lighthouse stamps from this country in the months to come.
