I have a couple of dozens of Austria first issue stamps to go through, and would like to ask for your help confirming my results. Here it the first one - 1K. Probably the toughest one. This one I believe to be Scott 1. First issue, type I, yellow. Cancelled in Vienna. Original image (looks much more detailed than in person and less yellow)  Enhanced image  Gray Scale

Here is the second 1k stamp. This one I believe to be Scott 1b. First print, Type I, orange. Also cancelled in Vienna. Original image  Enhanced Image  Grayscale  What really bothers me is the difference in the shape and position of "1". Also, the paper looks different from the back. The first stamp looks smooth from the back, but the second one looks like it has a grid, even more pronounced in watermark fluid. So I assume I misidentified one of the stamps. First on the left, second on the right. 9k blue Type III above Sorry image got rotated when uploaded. First stamp top left, second stamp bottom left, 9K on the right (shows same grid pattern) as the second stamp.  |

This is the third one. Unfortunately I cannot find this stamp in my collection anymore (probably sold it when I needed money when we moved to Florida) I believe this is to be Scott 1c? Cancelled in Budapest (Pesth), Hungary.  |

I'm heaving a suspicion that my first and third stamps are Type III on machine made paper. Scot 1d and 1g. |

Here is the 2 K stamps. The first one is easy. Second issue, Type III. Cancelled in ViennaI believe Interesting cancel, would like to here more about it.   This one is a little tougher. I think it is Type I, but there is a little bit of white in the line around shield. The "2" it touching the tablet frame line, unlike the first stamp. Have no idea about the cancel. I think I see Wien (Vienna).   This one looks easy. Lombardy-Venetia, first issue, Type I. Cancelled in Milan. Interesting brake in tablet frame line right above "1" in "10".  |

9 k blue. All of my 9k examples appear to be Type III. 5 out of 7 looks like hand-made paper, which is probably incorrect. Which means I still cannot figure out the difference between the two. These first two I think are Type III on machine made paper. Cancels First - not much shown. Maybe Vienna. Second - Weidhofen?     Next 5 looks like Type III, but on hand made paper, which is probably wrong. Cancels: First - Vienna. Second - likely Vienna (have one with 1M for Vienna) Third - Insbruck - place of 1964 winter olympics. Have many many stamps featuring this event. Forth - Prague (Czechia) Fifth - An interesting one. Looks like Kronstadt. There is a Kronstadt in St. Petersburg Russia, but I think this is not the one. There is also Brasov in Romania which was called Kronstadt in German, so this is most likely it.           This is all Folks. |

"Bohm:Ka???? Don't know where that is."
Could it be Bohmisch Kamnitz/Ceska Kamenice? |
