Hi same,

All color a

Hello Hornet
What do you mean All color a

Hi same,

You asked for 325A Pb but they are all 325A Pa or Wa. All pictures show the red in color which is way different for color b.

Do you know the difference between P and W?

P Plate printing, W roller printing.

Yours

Same, you were asking about the color. You just posted another German stamp in the same color you are asking about, blackish brown. Since you now already have one in that color, could you not compare them side-by-side?
Always easier to compare if you have the real thing at hand rather than rely on pictures.

Hello Peter
I have already compared them, and the color is different from the rest of the stamps.
I always love to get additional information from members of this great forum.

Hi same, I think you did not understand what I meant. You showed another German stamp a few days ago, that was also blackish brown. It was a different stamp, but printed in the same color. It was a 3000 Mark stamp, 1922, Michel 253 I believe. Compare the color to that one - they should be the same.

With any stamp of this rosettenmuster series, it is best to first look if it is Plate(P) or roller(w) print. Plate print has a sligthly bigger image. After that try to find out the color. This order is best to prevent doing useless extra work. (You do not have to consider B perforation, this is obviously different from A perforation and was only printed in plate.)

Hi Johan,

Thanks I don't have my books, I spend the week away from home. there are couples of exceptions.

So same, do you see the red in the overprint on that expertized 325A Pb?

There is no red at all on the main plate.

Best regards

Hornet

My only question is this stamp Blackish brown or not ??

Same, I don't think it is reasonable to expect a worthwhile opinion in the case of this particular stamp. Even the Bundespruefer refers to the expertized example as a "Farbnuance" / color nuance. A computer scan, even if it is close to the real color, is useless. Even in the very rare case where the scan showed the correct color, the viewer (who is not an expertizer/Bundespruefer) would only be making a guess.

No, not blackish brown.
