The following scan shows a (reconstructed) four-strip 25ø8 position 91-94 with new frame-cliches, of which pos. 92 and 94 have been unknown to LN (pg. 620). As the cancellation is rather heavy, I am not quite sure, that there are really no OM or OF on these stamps: 25o8_91-94.jpg And here is another...

Hej Jimmy, Your pair is not 4 øre print 8 (the colours do not fit) pos. A61-62 (the perforation does not fit with 1. and 2. row), but 4 øre print 9, position A43-44. For comparison have a look at the following scan, showing two copies of 4ø8 10.61. Especially the cliche of the right one is already s...

One of the most difficult prints, which probably never will be finally plated due to very limited material is 5ø2, setting 20. Here is another strange pair showing the cliches 20.55 and 20.80 ! Rather strange, as LN was sure about about pos. 80 (see pg. 1447). But there is no doubt about the placeme...

Hej Ole, Thank you for the fine presentation and analysis of your 3 øre - pair. I think you are right with the plating 3ø17 position 3-4, the left stamp with RM.5A, OF in R of DANMARK plus OM.1 (which I had overlooked at my stamps! - see 14.01.2007) and the right stamp with RM.5D,OM.2 and the colour...

In his last article Michael gave the good advice not to forget the older literature about the bicoloured. Just a few days later a had to make use of his suggestion, when I found a stamp from 4ø1 with one of the biggest frame-flaws of this series - a rather big dot to the right of the VNV ornament an...

Hej Lars, I had a look in my collection and found 25ø10 pos. 56-57 - see attachment! Unfortunately my pos. 56 is rather heavily cancelled, so there is nothing to say about th the oval. But please note, that there is another RF not mentioned by Lasse Nielsen for some prints of setting 31: the inner f...

I had a look at my collection and found 25ø8 pos.34 and 25ø9 pos.82 both with the coloured dot in A.

Mange hilsener! Bernd

As henning Bonde stated correctly, this 12 Cents - forgery is not mentioned by Victor Engstrom in his "DANISH WEST INDIES MAILS, 1754 -1917, Volume 3, Chapter XX." But his general remarks about genuine and forged bicoloured stamps are interesting: "Genuine. A complete description of t...

Sorry Ed, But Max is right with print 15, the frame on print 14 is greyish green instead. Also typical for print 15 is the not very well covering frame-colour. For direct comparison please have a look at the following scan, showing position B11 from print 14 (left) and print 15 (right) as well. Best...
