Thank you!

Wow! that's a cracker.
I am having trouble identifying it, I have not worked on my Romania Album for some time.
Also, translating Romanian is not a skill I have.

Guess: There exists a "Spic de griu" (Ear of Wheat ) Issue in August 1905
(Type ll = 1 line in left spandrel column)
5 bani "Grey-Olive" not listed Scott

Catalogue 137b in the Catalogul Marcilor. (CMR)

Only problem I do not see any hint of Olive in yours.

Need to spend some more time researching.
Hopefully another member may have an answer.

if you intend selling, please let me know.

Thanks rod222 - I hope someone can identify it - I'm interested to know what the value is. I haven't been a member long enough to sell through this forum yet but wont take long. Believe magic number is 50 posts.

I'll need your approval.
I can send the scan to people I know, that may be of assistance.
Don't hold your breath, the last time I did so, it took an age to get a response.

The mis-perforation I guess may be just an adjunct, the primary value may lie in the basic item.
I think the 1905 was on thick paper with no watermark, but I need to check that also.

I have never seen the 5 bani grey-olive.

I have no issues with you sharing this out. Right, not holding my breath. I've learned to not do that with as many stamp variations there are in the world.

As Rod 222 pointed out possible 137b,type II...link below if you don't have it.

I've already reached out to Mats Blückert. I was widening the net to hopefully get more answers. The SCF forum seems to have more users and a better image upload process. Thanks everyone!

FYI - Hoping to hear back from Mats, no updates yet. Just over a month now.

Nor I,
your stamp is the only stamp I have awaiting news, and in my daily tray.
I really look forward to seeing an identification.

I emailed Mats as well.

Do you know how to contact Max Peter?
