184's ??

After looking at these 2 Stamps I'm pretty sure they are 184's. The Papers feel the same (soft) but there are a few differences between them. So first, are they 184's ?





The one with the very light cancel also has lighter shading on the bottom, it has a plate scratch top left 3 cm from left edge, and the Hairs on the Forehead are different when looked at closely.

Stallzer,

I can't call paper types from scans with any degree of certainty (and I sometimes have trouble even when the stamps are in hand!).

I think the top stamp clearly has the secret mark and, even though the degree of shading under the bottom stamp's left upper ribbon tail is much less pronounced, it is also probably design A46a vice A46.

Here is my Scott 136, definitely without the secret mark, for comparison (the grill makes the ID an easy one).

*Edit* Ok, it finally sunk in. I thought poster silrdarian was leaving us a message to follow rules which is why I replied with the ? and Quoted it. So if I finally figured this out, the moderator removed the link and replaced it with the "Follow the rules" message.
