Above is the genuine overprint.
De Thuin fakes are easy to spot.
Are any of the three periods missing? It is a de Thuin.
Look at the letter T. Is the vertical leg of the T without a pronounced bend to the left? It is a de Thuin. Is the top of the T straight without bulges on the ends? It is a de Thuin.
