PostmasterGS, thank you VERY MUCH for all this answers. I am familiar with most of the stamps from the photos, but was unable to determine the revenues of the German States. Also never seen this Berliner Verkehrs 3 as imperf, although I am familiar with the German privates. Thank you very much again!

The original printing of the Berliner was perf, but a reprint was available imperf. There are slight differences between the printings, but I'd need a larger scan to know for sure. Also, there were envelopes and cards with the same design, so it could be a cutout.

It seems that it is gummed, so surely not a cutout in that case... as you said, most probably a reprint. I made a better scan...

That's odd. The size of the margins on three sides is not what I would expect from the stamp since they were printed in 10x10 sheets. Yet, I wouldn't expect to see gum on a cutout either.

Here are the relevant catalog entries.

First, the stamp:



And the card/envelopes:
