A very dangerous forgery can be found on early scarce stamps: the so called Mme Joseph forgery.
It is described in Derek Warboys' book 1994: "Madame Joseph forged postmarks".
In the Goyns-Klinger Postmark book it is marked PU9B as forgery of the original PM4 postmark..

Forged Vila cancel on a 5c and 25c NC & a 1911/12 French 5 Fr. stamp. (Klinger & Goron coll.)

A couple of snippets made from "Buess covers" - I suppose genuine cancels used on hundreds of covers, maybe produced much later than 1910-11. (all Goron coll.)
 

Here are some more samples of these:
