Here are two stamps that look the same under ordinary electric light but different in UV (simple Chinese device). In fact the one on the right looks completely blue, yet the camera makes it look partly reddish.

I could not find any UV difference mentioned in Michel catalogue. Maybe I should look elsewhere?

My 1984 Michel stops before this stamp was issued, but I think you may find that the one perf all the way around has a suffex of A while the one imperf at bottom has suffex of D (from bottom of booklet pane.)

The question is about UV light difference, not the perfs!

Perhaps they used a different kind of tagging for the different perferations (is one from a sheet and one from a booklet?)

To new12collector:
You might be right, yet the question is then, why Michel would not mention it, if they know about it(?).

Hello

Sometimes washing to detach stamps from envelopes affects the intensity, tone or brightness of tagging.

Both stamps have been washed off envelopes (cut outs), maybe in the same batch.

This is the Goethe and Schiller issue of 1997-98. The stamp perfed on four sides is Michel #1934A, the booklet stamp is #1934D. I didn't see anything about differing tagging either.

Does anyone know anything highly specialized on German definitives?
