Hi,

How a stamp can be narrower than normal?

Is it common?

Yes very common,
they are "line perforated"
the distance between line punctures are set by hand
they can be any width between puncture strikes.

Hi Rod222,

I'm suprise to see a difference like that. Funny!

There is something like a perforation (begining) on the head... is it possible?

Thank you!

Not sure what you mean there CDnum,
line perfed can say waver either side of the correct
line of perforation by say 1 cm, if it goes beyond
that it is considered an "EFO"
"Error, Freak or Oddity"
