The Transjordan collection of George Asch was auctioned in New York by Ivy and Mader Philatelic Auctions, Inc. on 27 June 1995. At the time of this sale, considerable research had been done by the Arabian Philatelic Association, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and information about the forged stamps of the Hejaz was available. It would appear that, as now, many collectors of Transjordan stamps were unaware, or did not want to be aware, of such forgeries and several of these forgeries with Transjordan overprints, and thus bogus items, were offered in the sale. The illustrations in the auction catalogue were clear enough for some of these items to be identified and they are reproduced here.
