Germany Pages And Learning Along The Way

I have been spending a lot of time on my German stamps. Included here are a few Semi-Postals as well as some official stamps. Total I have mounted close to 600 German stamps. Originally I was not going to pursue Germany and started selling some of them. As I worked to identify them for sell, I really got into them and really enjoy the intricacies of Germany and German states. I did have one question. On the Officials page (last one featured)- The numerals of value 1922-1923. There are two 10M in Scott: #s O17 and O18. The description is exactly the same. Why do they have two separate numbers?

I looked for an older thread to add my German pages - but could not find anything that seemed appropriate, or it was very old so I could no longer reply.

Welcome to German stamps!

If you look at the top of those issues, the catalog identifies 2 watermarks, Wmk 126 for all the series except for SC O16 and O17. They have a wmk of 125.

O17 is Wmk 125 and O18 is wmk 126.

Scott is sometimes difficult to decipher.

Dan,

Scott O17 is watermark 125 and Scott O18 is watermark 126.

Thank you gents. Yes Scott can be challenging at times!

These were interesting to work on and a bit of a challenge- I also enjoyed reading the threads on here re: AMGOT or AMG (later). Some really great covers in one of the threads I found as I was investigating.

Beautiful pages

Great job
