One of these stamps is not 'real'

One of the stamps is a forgery...one is not!

The year is 1898. The place is a large island in the Mediterranean known as Crete. There, a long running civil war threatens to ignite a larger war on the European continent. The great powers send their dreadnoughts to enforce a peace-- and issue stamps. Can you tell the fake from the real thing?
