Have You Seen Anything Like This? Czeckoslovakia 1919 With 50 F. Value

I'm asking because, I couldn't find any records of such stamp (different color, imperforated and in a miniature sheet).

Looks like a proof, essay or something like it. Probably going to need a specialized catalog for this type of thing. It is pretty though!

its very interesting, a lot of soft color details cant be catch neither by camera nor by scanner even though (I scanned it using 2400dpi option and still you cant clearly see the headline of the stamp POŠTA ÈESKOSLOVENÁ). Is there a web page with info from the specialized catalog? And what next in case the specialized catalog will contain no info regarding this one?

Thanks

Robi, this is a question you will probably have to find yourself - you are closer to the source. All I can do is give you a website that may have an answer, http://postoveznamky.sk .
Also, I found that there is a stamp bourse or a collectors get together sometimes in Bratislava. I think that is not too far from where you are. Looks like they have a meeting a week from now, June 25.
Another way to go would be your local library. Chances are they have a specialized catalog.

Peter

guess you're right, I will give it a shot... thanks. So, but what is in general the next step in case its not in the specialized catalog?

Burda Auctions can likely give you info on it.

Looks like a die or essay for the 1919 semi postal SC#B126, though the final 50h stamp was printed in dark blue.

The red color, engraving and souvenir sheet format look more like it could be related to Czechoslovakia Scott # 1581 as an essay die proof where the 50F relating to 50th anniversary was changed to 5K, box perforations added and extra writing added in blue to souvenir sheet, etc. Also, the souvenir sheet stamp from 1968 was engraved while the original 1918 stamps were typographed. The stamp impression from the above OP appears to be engraved since most die proofs are engraved.

Hi jogil,

I didn't understand what you were trying to say. The 1st 3 league stamps are dated 1919 and issued for the first CSFR anniversary and the face values were 15,25 & 50 Heller. The one you mentioned(the miniature sheet of the 5 Kcs (KorunCeskoSlovenskych)issued for the 50th CSFR anniversary (I have it also, so I scanned both of them so you can seethe side by side.

Hi Robi13

Is your printed proof engraved and is it bigger than the regular stamps in size?

Robi13. is it possible for you to post a larger image of the stamp, zeroing in on the 50 in the lower left corner? I find those horizontal lines odd, almost like modern scan lines. On the final stamp, that number was a solid colour.
