Obvious differences in paper:

Why the new engravings in 1915??? All values: 1, 5, 10, 15, 25,30st AND 1 Lewa - are completely different stamps!! No varieties! Not just the engraving, but also the lineperforation AND the type of paper.. There was a world war raging in 1915! Was Bradbury NOT in the position of delivering new plate...

Not just a change of colour!

A completely different engraving!!

Not just a different shade!

Not just for the 1st and 25st but ALSO for ...

What is correct is that the 1911 printingings have line perforation L12!

And the later printings have L11 1/2 [or mixed with L14] ....

And how about the 1 Lewa??? L 11 1/2 (1915) with different width???

The same colour as in 1911????

The majority of the Wiggins Teape-Celluloza papers assigned with numbers 11-60 are just a splitters paradise! No one can tell them apart with single stamps and only when in mint condition! Used stamps need diffferent characteristics! Lumpers and splitters! https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrupamiento_...
