Hello all. I have these 2 overprints that are definitely different with the right stamp having a thicker 3 than the left stamp. Since I am not a serious Finnish stamper just wondering if someone out there has any information on this particular variety.

Neither Facit nor Norma catalogs mention such a variety. The skips on the bars and the overly thin numerals seem to indicate underinking.

Looks to be Scott #123, from 1921, wch would be Michel #107, Yvert #95. None of these says anything about varieties of the surcharge for the 30P on the 10. Scott and Michel, however, do mention thick and thin varieties of the 2 for the 1 ½ M value. So perhaps there were other examples of under-inking.

Here's my copy for comparison:




Seems more like your thicker version, no?

And here is mine:

I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't lots of variation in the inking as these were printed. The thick/thin 2 in the 1½M is an actual difference in the lettering.
