SSlava, you need to determine the perforation yourself. It is probably 13.25, but you need a good perforation gauge to check it.
There are four (4) known perforation varieties of this stamp and going into it this deep the Michel catalog is of no use here.
Start by getting a good perforation gauge,


Peter


What does 13.25 mean? What perforation is this? L14 or L13?

Well, opinions are divided here))? NSK wrote that this is L14?

Maybe try docking a performance gauge scan and a postage stamp? I was finding a way to do it.

The computer program seems to be inclined to perforation L14 if I correctly understood its data)). Although gives some kind of average result between L14 and L13?

I never understand why people use computer programs to do simple tasks that the eye is better at. Kind of like using a robot to clean your windshield when you have Windex and paper towels in the closet.

Need to buy a perforation gauge, find the right size and take a photo? Then you already write, what is this perforation?

As I realized, on the eye size L13 or L14 it is impossible to distinguish)).

No. I said there is a line perforation 14 that would agree with your measurement. I cannot determine whether or not that programme you used was correct. A perforation gauge would be helpful.

As I learned, we have free cards in the collector's store with performance gauge.
Tomorrow I will go take and try to take photos)).

By the way, if I correctly measured, the width of the lower part of the stamp is almost exactly 2 centimeters, and there are 14 teeth on it)). I've counted several times. It seems to be 2 centimeters there exactly 14 teeth.

I think you have just shown it is perf. 13 1/4. If there are 14 perforation tips, there are only 13 holes. This is not a perforation gauge, but a ruler.

You, really, should use a perforation gauge.

This is a perforation gauge:

Yes, it's a ruler. It turns out that this is still option 13b? Definitely not 14L?

No, you count 14 tips in a space of 2 centimetres. Between two tips is one hole, between three tips are two holes and between 14 tips are only 13 holes.

If there had been 14 full tips, it could have been perforation 14, but your 2 centimetres stretch between the centre of the first and 14th tips, i.e., there are rougly 13 full perforations per 2 centimetres. That is gauge 13.

If you count the tips on the Catawiki stamp of which you provided a picture, you will come to 15: one more than yours.

Since the holes appear small and you earlier mentioned thin paper, I would think it is 13C.
