Sorry to say this one is a known, identified fake. Quite dangerous since the differences to the original of this type are only subtle and mainly to be found in the date's numbers.

Erich, you might also try posting them in the correct forum, General Awards...

[ErichK]

Thank you for the advice Don. Thanks Frank.

Looking at the thick almost felt like backing paper with those glue marks I am certain this comes from the same maker as the Narvik, Krim's and Demjansk's which hit the market in the early 1980's. I am sure Frank can confirm this?

Cheers, Ade.

Dear Ade,

Most of these fakes are attributed to Floch, which fits the timeline.

Thanks Frank, the Kuban was the only one of these fakes I did not buy

Cheers, Ade.
