Switzerland : Stamps On Steiner Pages.

Two of the great Joys in Life.......
Stamps and chocolates....(The other goes without saying)

Thank you very much Rod. I would really like to have a look at your duplicates, if I'm able tu supply you with something that you'll need. Which can be difficult as you've have a very large collection.

Grilled Gum.
I have had another comment from a collector I respect, which suggests not grilled.

I feel it is my scanner at fault, it will not pick up the grill.

I am still sticking by my opinion until proven otherwise, not out of stubborness, as I can definitely see a machine made indentation on my mint hinged.

I wonder if these further 2 scans make any difference.
1. 16 bit greyscale
2. 24 bit colour.

This may help newbies as myself correctly identify?

Great scans, Rod (better !) grilled gum ....my opinion and great pic of Helvetia girl and Chocolat Suisse!! (french)

René

The last 2 pics clearly show grilled gum.

Excellent pics, Rod!

Finally ...
but that shows how debate can assist in all sorts of ways.

I'll be using the 16 bit greyscale option, for future inspections,
I wonder how it may go with grilled on used?

I am still playing with Postmaster GS option to use the "film" option on my Epson V200, without success as yet.

Thanks Guys.........

We aim to pick on please.
