I'd like to show this 1938 French TB seal, of which I have two copies. Rod in particular may be interested, as he's shown us quite a number of French seals in his collection. This particular seal, apart from colour variations, shows quiet a registration shift. I've lined the two seals up along the top of the image frame, rather than the perforated edge, to better show what areas have shifted.  Note in the right sample how the word NET has shifted drastically upward into the image. There's also a slight shift in the word EN PROPRE. Indication of two separate plates for these red words? Also, the Cross has shifted up quite a bit, but so too has the year 1938. I think this is interesting because it shows that it (the year) and the three lines of copy on the right, while appearing to be the same blue, were also applied with two different plates. The text on the lower right side is in exactly the same place on both stamps. The date on the left stamp also appears to be slight larger, which supports my 'two blue plates' theory. If this is true, I wonder why they would use separate plates for a single colour? Curious. |

Fabulous James ! May I keep a copy of the scans please? I may offer my collection for inclusion in the Cinderella Stamp Club of Australsia journal soon, ( I have 5 pages)
I agree with your hypothesis, the red plate was altered, for unknown reasons.
Note: the same vignette can appear for differing departments of France, maybe there are two differing departmental opts. Usually the department or region is printed at bottom of seal.
Top Stuff !

I assume (but I could be wrong) that there are two different stamps : one from booklets of 20 and one from sheets of ?   (not my stamps) |

Hello everyone! I guess this cinderella belongs in this thread. It has been made in france as a moral support to the Serbian nation during www1, specifically during 1916., when serbian army, king and part of the nation were in exile in Greece.  |

Absolutely Rod, use the scan however you like. And yes, Vayolene, thank you! Obvious differences in the two. Seems to indicate the shift to be deliberate, but one still has to wonder why. Wonderful! |

Thanks James, Quote: but one still has to wonder why. Guess, they wanted to increase the size of the Lorraine Cross, the icon of the TB fight. To do so needed the "NET" raised higher. |

Would members please advise on these Acronyms? ASDA = American Stamp Dealers Association. APS =American Philatelic Society IPA  SPA  Important esp circa 1920 Also, if an French address is PARIS lX, what does that represent? |

Paris IX : IX is the number of the "arrondissement" (district? borough?) |

It is outdated since the introduction of postcodes. Now we must write 75009 Paris instead of Paris IX ,75016 Paris instead of Paris XVI... (75 is for any address in Paris) |
