FORGERY BY PHYSICAL TRANSFER.

- Abstract
This article explains forgery by physical transfer and problems related in document examination. Genuine writings may be denied, forged writings or signatures may be produced or fraudulent additions or alterations may be made in otherwise genuine documents, writings alleged to be in the handwriting of a particular person may in fact be in the handwriting of another person. The actual transferring of a genuine signature from one document to another which is to be forged is prompted by less labor and less chance of detection of the author of the forgery. This transfer is attempted with regard to signatures only to avoid unnecessary risk. There are many ways to make such transfers, but popular among them is the use of a chemical or painting the document lightly with a transparent sticky solution and then transferring the signature from one document, by rubbing it from the back on to the sticky portion. Some make a rubber stamp of a signature and then stamp a signature or use it as outlines for further inking. By careful examination of the documents, in the forgeries of this type, some such defects are bound to be present and when properly presented, will help in the final decision of the case in the courts of law.
