Bonjour  This stamps should be the number 1 or 2 according to the Facit catalogue. The problem is they shox 4 burelages, but my stamp the burelage is is pointilled.  Do you have a more complete catalog or documentation? |

Have you checked whether the design was used for postal stationery and whether your example might be a 'cut-square?' |

To add to my confusion. Scott is blurry but also appears to show the "wavy" lines as "dotted." Actually except for Facit all of the stamps I have looked at are dotted. I have been interested in DWI and I have a lot to learn. This is good. Spiro forgeries. Jay Smith stamps site is good! http://stampforgeries.com/forged-st...h-west-indie |

@redwoodrandy,
I think OP was talking referring about to the wavy lines in the margin and within the frame lines. You can best see those below the value. |

Thank you NSK. I see it now especially in the "wavy" margin in the copy I showed while the OP copy is "lacy." |

Bonjour Thank you for your answers. The Danish stamp which has been taken over for the Danish West Indies is the dotted N° 4 (Facit). It exists with a corrugated burelage under the No. 7 (FACIT)  There is no picture of the burelage . Facit just say dotted sprandels and wayvy-lined sprandels. |

Thank you for showing the "yellow" gum. Very helpful. Only #1 has yellow, brown or white color I have learned. #2-4 have only one color I am informed. Not sure what that color is? White? |

The northeast corner of the original picture appears to show a faded or very light cancellation mark. The white adherances on the back also suggest it was attached to some type of paper. I am a bit surprised by the reference to the colour of the "gum." |

In the op's stamp the burelage is there;albeit not very noticable.
These stamps suffered during their transport to the West Indies;thus were re-gummed upon arrival.The thick gum (brown or yellow) soaked into the paper.. |

I don't know if it is a cancellation mark but you get gum on the back. I have another stamp who is clearly cancelled, but it gets brown gum on the back:  not a nice cancellation!  |
