Georges Carion was born in Paris in April 1858 (source: La Revue Francaise des Collectionneurs of 1904). According to 'Philatelic Forgers, their Lives and Works' Georges Carion was a stamp forger. He started of in Paris in 1879 with the firm Carion & Emden (Jules Emden).
He then went to Tahiti, where he was forced to leave after some scandal over forged Tahiti overprints.
He then moved to San Francisco in 1894 (I've seen a letter from 1895 with address P.O.Box 2457 San Francisco) to follow Jules Emden who moved there earlier (according to the La Revue mentioned above, La Revue mentions the year 1893 for Carion's departure to San Francisco). Indeed a merchant Jules Emden, age 27, from France together with a certain merchant Lucien Emden, age 32, are listed as passengers on an immigrant ship of 7 August 1893 from Havre, France to New York (see https://immigrantships.net/v5/1800v5/lachampagne18930807_01.html)
His most famous forgeries are the "COCHINCHINE" overprints. He also made forged overprints of Obock (see V.E.Tyler; 'Philatelic Forgers, their Lives and Works'). Carion went back to France afterwards in 1899. I've seen a used letter from him addressed to Rudolf Friedl in Austria in 1896 from 83 Rue Lemercier Paris (not Lemergier as erroneously stated in Philatelic Forgers by V.E.Tyler, see the image later on). In 1901 he was doing business as George Carion (without "s") from 29. Rue Legendre Paris. I've seen a letter from 1941 with Geo Carion, from the address 21, Rue Nollet, Paris (17e). The article in La Revue Francaise des Collectionneurs of 1904 does not mention anything about his 'dubious' activities, but does mention that he has a great collection of rare stamps from Hawai and the French colonies (especially Tahiti).

The text of 'La Revue Française des Collectioneurs' of 1904 (which is more like an advertisement for Carion than anything else):
Notes Biographiques
M. Georges CARION
Né à Paris en avril 1858, M.Georges Carion était encore sur les bancs due Collèges lorsqu'il commença à prendre goût à la philatélie, presque aussitôt il remarqua le parti qu pouvait tirer des timbres un commerçant adroit et travailleur.
A douze ans, il traitait déja des affaires importantes.
En 1884, il publia une petite feuille technique, Le Bulletin Mensuel des nouveautés, et en 1885 : La Timbrologie. Faute de temps, il dut cesser, à son grand regret, la publication de ces périodiques.
Il s'adjoignit pour son commerce en 1888, M.Jules Emden qui partit pour San-Francisco où M.Carion all la rejoindre en 1893, c'est dans cette ville et à partir de cette époque, qu'il acquit une célébrité philatélique quasi-mondiale.
Il fut tour à tour: Expert de la Société Philatélique de San-Francisco, de la Southern Philatélic Association, des Philatélic sons of America, membre d'honneur du Métropolitan Philatélic Club de San Antonio, vice-président de la Columbian Philatélic Society, vice-président de la League of American Philatélists, vice-président des Canadian Philatélic Association, membre de l'American Philatélic Press Association et de nombreuses sociétés.
En 1899, il rentra à Paris, rapportant un superbe stock de timbres rares particulièrement d'Hawai, Tahiti, etc..
M.Georges Carion n'est pas seulement un Philatéliste distingué, il est encore écrivain conscencieux et chercheur souvent heureux, il produisit un grand nombre d'études scientifiques due plus haut intérêt, reproduites par une foule de journaux.
Il s'ets fait une spécialité des timbres des colonies françaises dont il possède un assortiment des plus variés et qu'il est le premier à avoir spécialisés. Sa collection de Tahiti contient des variétés très rares et excessivement peu connues, peut-être un jour aurons-nous le plaisir d'en donner la primeur à nos lecteurs.
