Hi! I have those two germania stamp od 25 and 30 pfennig.
Both have a strange color, couldn't find any info anywhere.
Just to mention that both have watermark no.1

Hello Madmaxa, Welcome to the SCF. Let me start with mentioning that judging colors from a scan is not ideal. The colors of these two values are very close together. The 30 pfenning looks very normal in color. The 25 has a very dark border color. Why? You mention they both have a watermark so it is possibly a wartime print and the colors of wartime print Germania stamps can be all over the place. I personally would be more interested in the perforations in both of the stamps. Kind regards, Johan.
