I do not have these in my hands, yet, so am not exactly sure which issues these are. However, I tried looking for gutter pairs in Michel and to no avail. Perhaps someone can point out something I missed that will help me catalogue these?

Thanks!
Brian

They're listed in the Michel Spezial as Mi 215 ZS-218 ZS and Mi 235 ZS-237 ZS.

These issues were printed in sheets of 10x5 + 10x5. To find the gutter pair listings, look for "Zwischenstegpaare".

Thank you, PostmasterGS, I found them. I was looking in the Zusammendruck section instead of the regular postage.

Many of these stamps are listed as 'Type A' and 'Type B', with colors listed next to the listing. Is this referring to color differences in ink, paper, or something else? Is it possible to tell which type these are from the photo?

Thanks!

Brian

Those are color differences in the ink. For example, the 2 Mark can be found in dark carmine or dark pink red.

It's difficult to differentiate them from a photo, since the shades are often very similar.
