Hello,

I have a question regarding this stamp. I have 2 single copies and, an attached pair. One of the singles is "different" than the others. The color is much paler, the paper type seems completly different and even the format of the letters seems different....notice the "O" in postage. Any ideas ?

PS. I know the pair is watermarked

Interesting. A lot about the type on your paler triangle looks different. The letters are thicker and many of the rounded letters - D you S - look squared off.
I don't see anything written in my Unitrade about variations. I wonder if you have a forgery? And considering you already have a single and a pair, that might make for an interesting set.


...and a quick google search (my friend google!) turns this up.
Check out the stamp on the upper right on this page. Look familiar?
