Text of statute as originally enacted
The Forgery Act 1913 (3 & 4 Geo. 5. c. 27) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

It did not extend to Scotland.
This Act was repealed for England and Wales and Northern Ireland by section 30 of, and Part I of the Schedule to, the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981.
It was repealed in the Republic of Ireland by section 3(1) of, and Schedule 1 to, the Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) Act 2001.
