German Varieties -Flyspecker Group

German stamp Scott # 1747 / Michel # 1610, St. Ludgerus.
The glossy surface of the stamp has no changes in the area of the 2 white spots.
At a sufficient magnification inside the white spots, ink is observed-I have eliminated the possibility of a foreign particle on the surface of the paper during printing.
I think it's a plate or printing error.
Confirm if you have something similar and possibly the position of the field in the sheet.

West Scachsen

Plate flaw 163 I. White triangular like shape over +18





Plate flaw 165 I. First window to the left, not a line but a dot.

Johan Buvelot - Thanks for 2 more varieties for the visual archive.
I found 2 stamps that have the same plate flaw :Colored spot on the top of the umbrella bar:

Here is a constant variety on the 5c value of Landmarks definitive series. It appears on field 9 of the entire print run, according to Michel. Stamp is "break on the balustrade of the right tower", Michel #2381 PF I.

Found it, Provinz Sachsen. Plate flaw 88 II

Repaired gap underside of the bridge(Retouche)

Nice plate flaws.
Russian Occupation-West Saxony (Scott 14N13) plate flaw: A instead of H in Deutsche. Michel 124I (field 57).

Thanks again Cupram and Johan for the nice scans.

Here is another modern one. This "hop growing" commemorative is from 1998. It is Michel #1999 PF I, from field 1 of a part of the print run; "brown fleck on the hops."

Hi,

Very nice stamps and examples of PLF.

Here ia another oldie, from the PFENNIGE series. It is Michel 34 PF III, the right side of the cliche is trimmed, fields 20, 30, 40. and 50.

Two plate flaw from Germany Soviet Occupation 1948 series.
Michel # 212 I (Scott # 10N29) - thick "2" (Field 53, Plate12)








Michel #219 I (Scott # 10N36) - "O" in POST thickened it to the right (Field 54, Plate 1)

Michael # 92 PF I - white dot between E & U in Deutsche

Nice one Rich.

Here is another one from the Buildings series. This is Michel #81 PF VI, "tower on right unshaded".

I must apologize for the scan. My scanner insists that this stamp is bright red. I cannot adjust (photoshop) to the true yellow orange color without causing distortion.

This one is on the 50 + 40 pf value (Mi #434 PF I) of the November 1, 1929 Provincial Coats of Arms charity issue. Michel says "40 PE stead of PF, position 31, part of issue."

Hi Everyone

Nice semi postal Bob.

A couple items from a large German holding I am breaking down.

Mi# 665 Unlisted printing defect/scratch




Nice misperf




Two privately perfed and gummed issues on carton paper postal stationery cutting. I know you can't see or feel paper thickness in a photo but these are unsusual. Mi# 454 is mentioned in Michel while Mi# 459 is not.
