Cupram, I believe the distance referred to is that between the lowest part of the vertical line of the small '1' and the curve of the large '2'. Illustration is from the handbook, with the left figure being the 'normal' stamp.  |

Hi,
Exactly and the 1b has the front of the 2 vertical. So the two previous images from bookbndrbob are 1b (141) and 1a (114) respectively.

Thanks hornet! This one is from 1936. It is the 25pf value from the 6th International Communal Congress set of four stamps. Michel lists three plate flaws. This is Mi 620 PF II, "left tower broken (position 31)."   |

Stamp Mi 155 issue of August 1921. The stamp on the left shows plate flaw PF IV = 3 on the right is lower than the one on the left. Unfortunately there is a crack on the stamp when the pair is detached from the sheet.   |

I would have called that the one on the left is higher than the one on the right, since the one on the right seems to align with both number on the other stamp... :) |

personal opinion on the 3 mark overprint: the 3 on the left is not higher then the 3 on the right. The overprint looks to be slightly tilted. If you put a sheet of paper on top of the M, You will see no noticable difference at all.
As stated, personal opinion. |

I rechecked and measured. At the bottom there is no displacement as it should be. Hornet 785 explained to me that the 3 on the left and "M" should be on the same horizontal line and the 3 on the right a little lower. On my stamp it is the other way around. Probably the 3 on the left was over inked and hence his print slightly shifted up. Sorry, but it's not plate flaw IV. Thanks for the corrections.  |

Here is a plate flaw on the 10 pf value of the 1906-16 Wurttemberg official overprinted for use in all of Germany (April 1, 1920). Michel lists it as #D53 II, "notch in right upper margin line, approximately 4 mm from corner (position 14)." This one is NH, but like many of the small Wurttemberg stamps, it has several short perfs... and it has a paper inclusion by the "D".   |

Adolf Knop's Die Plattenfehler der Germania-Reichspost-Ausgabe illustrates this PF on the 30 pf Reichspost definitive as #XVII, describing it as "break on the upper part of the right 3". Michel lists it as 59 PF VII.   |
