Bognor Regis CDS Postmark

Notes: These cover is marked as 'Identified as a Forgery' on the reverse.
Had the postmark been genuine, the cover would have been worth in the region of £1000. This item would make an extremely good 'space-filler', for those collectors who could never afford that sort of money - and that's assuming they could find a copy of it the first place, let alone in such good condition!
