Lucian Smeets

Dr. Lucian Smeets was a Belgian stamp forger operating around the early 1900s.

Smeets used a sophisticated method of taking an original stamp with the correct perforations, paper and watermark for the one he wished to forge, fading out the printing and then printing a new design of the desired stamp on the blank.

Among the stamps Smeets is believed to have forged are:
 * British Solomon Islands Protectorate canoe stamps.
 * British Victorian stamps.
 * Nevis.
 * Serbian stamps of 1901 and 1904.
