Hi, below you find an old Austrian stamp from around 1904: an Emperor Franz Joseph, pink carmine, 1 krone. Normally the perforation is 13 x 12,5. However, this one has 12,75 x 12,5. I measured it a couple of times with a Lighthouse perforation gauge, but it is definitely 12,75 and not 13. Is this of any relevance or consequences for its value?
Many catalogues round perforation gauges to halves, especially the older ones. Just over 12.75 x 12.5, thus would be listed as 13 x 12.5 in some catalogues.
