Bicolor, you ill have to do better than this. What are you talking about? Please give us the Scott / SG number and country of whatever it is you need. Unless you want us to guess?

Does this issue also have the inverted frame? Perhaps we need some examples of those? |

the "project" Mack is referring to is plating or a setup of prints.
he's had help with the stamp on a different forum - the poor quality of the picture means I can't tell if that's correct. the setting 43A 43B just means setting 43 - since the A and B stands for A and B sheet and therefor redundant to write - to most people this is incomprehendable unless you've worked with bi colored.
posting pictures for a study is too much to ask for - since you'll need many thousands of those to begin your work and online pictures are tricky since color change. And basicly gives me the impression that you're either too lazy or too tight on a budget to go buy some yourself.
a bundle of 4øre cost around $8 (100stamps) and sometimes accumulations are available cheaper. (but you'll need many to get somewhere)
also, Mack has started to plant a tree without digging a hole first.
4øre is the hardest (but cheapest) place to start learning.
12øre bundles are available as well - just add a zero to the price, and you can actually get somewhere with 100 stamps.

the last stamp studebaker posted is the ultramarine shade, prints 1 to 9 it has several frameflaws that could put it in a print and position for  s and giggles. i have no idea if it has any of the features that the OP asks for - since I can't comprehend what the point of most of the posts is for. inverted frames are normal about 50/50 especially in the perforation Partime has displayed. (first stamp) second stamp is from print 75 the last print to have perforation 14 * 13 ½.. color and year of cancel as well as K III perforation |

Although the topic is Danish stamps, Iceland's numeral definitives were printed at the same time by the same printer, and probably with the same ink supplier, albeit in much smaller quantities. Is here any evidence that they suffered from the same problems?
The plates show a lot of damage, but this can be attributed to normal wear and tear rather than anything else. Indeed some of the plate damage varieties span several printings. |

island bicolors are very expensive, especially the first issue. the spiro forgeries also command a good price. http://stampforgeries.com/iceland/regarding a study group, I would query the islandic philatelic society. very early fake here ...  |

The Islandic ovaltype was printed on HH Thiele's printing yes, as well was the service stamps and quite a few later issues. (also some of the coat of arms from finland were printed there).
there for it's likely to assume that the same mix was used - but I doubt it
delivery dates of 16øre and 16aur
16øre print 1 dec 17 - feb 06 1874 16øre print 2 apr 16 - sep 13 1875 16øre print 3 oct 02 - dec 04 1875 16aur print 1 apr 1876 16øre print 4 sep 22 1876 . . 16øre print 8 jun 15 1882 16aur print 2 aug 02 1883 16øre print 9 sep 20 1883
in each case the corresponding Icelandic value is printed some time after the previous Danish value (of same color)
with this in mind and the fact that there are huge differences in shades from print to print and even in the same print it's quite certain that new blends were made each time and it was difficult to hit the exact mixture.

Bicolor, that is a shocking fake! It wouldn't fool a blind donkey  I have the Spiro forgeries of the first 'skilling' issue and they are quite good apart from the cancellations. Sorsh, the printings are also distinguished by their paper thickness if you have a micrometer. The 10 and 16 Aur are particularly notable for their colour variation. |

no I don't have one, I can feel it :)
but I do rely more on perforation, since ovals are made from 4 blocks of 25, you'll find the same "flaw" twice in 2 vertical rows, if you're experienced in how KII perforation looks like in the various era's it's quite simple to find which print... it just annoys me that I can't get closer than 2 positions. |
