Rein,

These forgeries are very interesting. I have not come across them at all...I am still guessing that these come from a European forger who sold his specimens within Europe.

Rein,

Looks like you are missing the 1p no borders MM, that was the one I was missing to the bitter end. I just got one and it is 1E2.

A few 10c Red Type I Departmentals


These are always good finds.

A selection of the 25c MA DEPOF

This is the perfect stamp to study the 1E2 paper with because this is the only paper it was printed on. The theme of this stamp is agriculture, and the M.A. stands for the Ministry of Agriculture: dual theme.



Here are some plate varieties.













Here are some used in 1938.

10c M.M type II flat examples

Type I has a solid color wedge in the design immediately to the left of the 'BERNARDINO' legend. Type II has a few dots horizontally at top right and bottom right of this wedge.

10c M.M. type II rotary examples


Type I has a solid color wedge in the design immediately to the left of the 'BERNARDINO' legend. Type II has a few dots horizontally at top right and bottom right of this wedge. The rotary printing shows a much more worn out impression and the design is lengthened some along the vertical direction because of the bending effect on the original die.

10c M.M. buckled top edge plate variety

By the small number of these I find in this large selection, this plate variety is likely found in only one position of the plate.
