Can Anyone Identify This Grill?

Can you post an image of the front of the stamp? I tried to count points vertically and horizontally but believe the image you posted isn't showing all of them.

Looks to me like 19 x 16 points

Doesn't correspond to any grill count associated w/ A32 afaik. Perhaps a faked grill?

Thanks for posting the image of the front. Please review this website and the various grills known for that stamp. None fall within the range of that grill. stampsmarter.com/learning/ID_1867_1868Grills.html

Fake and counterfeit grills are known and not all that unusual. I've had more than a few myself



I'm far from an expert on the issue but can tell you that if the item is submitted to the Philatelic Foundation you'll get expert opinion and peace of mind for less than the price of a tank of gas. If in doubt, send it out.

Looks to me like 19 x 16

That's what I thought.

Thanks for the assist and that link re: grills.
