Bernhardt Burghardt Assmus ({{circa|1855}}–unknown)[1] was a German stamp forger operating in London. He was originally from Hamburg. He was unmasked after Morris Giwelb bought forged Penny Black VR official stamps from him in August 1890.[2][3] Giwelb accompanied the police on a visit to Assmus' premises at 12 Church Street, Islington, and assisted them at Vine Street Police Station in sorting the seized material.[2] He was found guilty of fraud in 1892.[4] References1. ^"Police."
