What mount size do people use for the Graf Zeppelin issues (e.g., C13, C14, C15)? The stamp itself is just under 20mm high, so I could use either a 20mm or 22mm strip, cut to length.

Thanks.

I'd use the 22mm, and give the stamp some room.

I used a 24mm to make sure I didn't bend the perfs. Also somewhat depends on the margins of the stamps that you have, e.g., very close or jumbo

Top load or split back?

You need to leave several mm at the bottom. No point in jamming the heck out of them. Mine are in 31mm top load, but they are not mounted to paper. They are double protected in a Vario 6S with all my other early air mails.

Thanks for the feedback. I was planning to get Scott/Prinz split back. I'll get an assortment pack and see which works best.
