Hello, some time ago I bought the collection of a important German Collector. He identified this stamp like a Z-grill, I count between 17-18 points vertical, and between 13-14 points lateral. I dont know much about this grills, but is posible a Z-grill? I upload a scan, but maybe we can see better in picture.

We would need a high resolution scan to tell with any certainty but from a glance this is an F grill and this is a Scott 96.

The Z Grill 10c is an extremely rare stamp and the chances of locating one are literally up there with winning the lottery.

Astrakov... you really need to obtain a scanner, with at least 600dpi capability

thanks rlsny, I think like you, but I was confused because the original owner of the collection, identify this like z-grill, and when I look with lateral light, I can count in some columns 18 points, and in some files 14 points.
But maybe is a illusion. jejeje.
Thanks again.

Z grill is not only different because of the line numbers, but also because of the horizontal ridges, the F grill for example and all other grills have vertical ridges. this you should see in oblique light.

Hello stamperix, thats is the problem, when I look at this with oblicual light, I see like horizontal ridges, and with that light I can count 18 points in three columns, and 13-14 in files. Im going to make a picture in the shop of a friend that is profesional photographer. And we talk in some days. For now I continue with other posts.
Thanks.
