The perforation was done by H.H. Thiele and seems to have its random moments. Early Iceland is the same. I don't know if Sorsh, our Denmark expert, can throw any more light on this?

Sure can, this stamp was perforated with a KII machine, small corner figures 4th printing.

the perforation is a little worn i'm afraid and bears tell tale signs of both 5th and 6th vertical row.
the machine is a comb perforator, which would perforate a sheet on the top and both sides, then the paper would be moved forward with a gear, and the perforator would come down and do the bottom of the first row and top of the 2nd and so on.

this technique thus means that a stamp would have identical horizontal sides... but left and right side are different... making 10 identical stamps in each vertical row (sheets of 100)
