German 1875-90 Sc#36(A-E) 2c Stamps

Scott Specialized Catalog shows 6 different shades for this issue. As always, I'm having fun choosing:

With these issues, the postmark dates are a great way to eliminate certain color possibilities.

Hers's a photo with certified copies of all 6, in order from Michel 37 a to 37 f.




The Michel to Scott conversion is as follows:

Michel 37 / Scott 36
37 a = 36 a
37 b = 36 c
37 c = 36 d
37 d = 36 b
37 e = 36
37 f = 36 e

So the photo above would be, in order, Scott 36 a, c, d, b, no suffix, e

Here's the Michel listing showing the general dates of use for each variant.

Oh my. You have been very helpful. Thank you so much!
