Was any new Peruvian intaglio design released to the public with a grill after February 1890?

There are no Peruvian postage stamps with new designs issued after 1890 that have grill.
In1894 were issued the last ones with grills but were remnants of the 1874-79 stamps plus those received at the end of the war that had been kept in custody in Guayaquil-Ecuador (all printed by National Bank Note Co).

These were overprinted with the portrait of the recently deceased President Remigio Morales Bermúdez..



Deficit stamps (Postage Due):
Some old stamps with grill were overprinted and issued later:

1897 (20ct. blue, llama and ship) overprinted DEFICIT
(1ct. brown, Coat of arms) overprinted FRANQUEO for postal use.
1898 (20ct. blue, llama and ship) overprinted TELEGRAFOS.
1902 (20ct. blue, llama and ship) overprinted DEFICIT-5 CENTAVOS

In 1895 the new stamps called "La República" were issued (Inauguration of the presidential term of Nicolás de Piérola).
They were engraved and printed by ABNCo. (Charles Skinner, vignette and George Henry Seymour, frame & lettering) and their imprint (American Bank Note Co.) can be found in the 4 margins of the sheet and on each stamp.

thank you, very helpful again. As you mention the postage due, this question may be interesting: there are the Lama postage due stamps without grill, I think not known used (real postal use). I did not find any information about them, are they then American Bank Note stamps, as they are without grill, and why weren't they used?

(would be similar to my question about the 10cts above, if you could notice a difference between the National and the American Bank Note paper in Peru stamps, when there is no grill)

littbarski...Before the merger of American, National and Continental Bank Note Co. each Company used its own paper. An example of this was the printing of the US stamps called "Banknotes 1870-1890"
After the merger it is very likely that American received the remaining stock of paper held by National and Continental and used it to print stamps from different countries.
There are Deficit (Llamas) stamps printed by American on paper without grill in 1886 and 1907.
But I have not studied these stamps and their papers enough to determine what differences there are between the papers used by National and American, without taking into account the grill.

Thank you again! Well the US Bank Note stamp papers are still discussed until today by collectors (see my question about the new so called linen paper in Scott in the US classic forum).

But the later lama postage dues without grill were not really used anyway as it seems (not directly related to the paper question here), but have either no price or italic price when I saw them (?).
