Yikes indeed. Starting to look like they are both fakes.
Still, though, two things occur to me. (1) Corsi has been suckered in Kenya before. (2) Birth report from 1961 and birth extract from 1964 are not quite the same thing.
If so, I'm not surprised. This was, based on my analysis in Post 621 above, the most likely scenario. It would tell me that the Kenya forger and the Bomford forger were not connected in any way.
But this isn't definitive yet. So hold on, we may be in for another ride.
We must not be looking at the same Bomford.
Everything I’ve looked into on the Bomford certificate - EVERYTHING so far - has either checked out or seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
I can even see apparent distortion at a place or two in the folds. There’s not much, because you have a full-frontal view of the certificate, but I can see some in a place or two.
As for the type being “over” the signature, IMO that’s just nonsense. It’s going to be EXTREMELY difficult to tell from a scanned image which ink is on top. Heck, I’ve even tried it on a real piece of paper, and it’s difficult there!
I know you want the Kenyan one to be real, but you have to go with where the facts lead you.
Just the fact that the Kenyan one apparently has an Australian price on it, NOT Kenyan, is enough to mark it as almost certainly being a fake.
