“A Forensic Examination of the Cape Triangles” – Cyanide, Lead and Other Materials on Stamps - with Mike Blum

I would like to invite you to attend this free BESG webinar on Thursday, September 12th at 6 pm ET.   Mike, a South African native, will take us through a brief history of the country, the Triangular stamps, and how he has used his electron microscopy, and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study them.  Mike is a scientist and not a traditional philatelist, and his use of scientific analysis to provide data-based evidence to forgery detection is worthy of discussion.

This is a free and open event—all are welcome. A discussion will follow the presentation. Close captioning and Computer language translation are available. See the Website to register for the live event or purchase the MP4
