Servicio Oficial - back of the book?
Publicado: 02 May 2011 07:36
The Servicio Oficial stamps can be found in the back of the book with a hundred different ways of spelling, settings, type-fonts, etc....
Whatever, the formal and postal background of these stamps, they can not be studied properly without accepting them as an integral part of the stamp production of Argentina!
The base stamps had been printed in typography, recess, offset-litho and photogravure, the text in typography, offset-litho and photogravure. In many cases you can not even talk of base stamps plus overprint as the production was simply a single run with two colours! Philatelists do not like this technical chit-chat! They prefer terms of the prehistorical times of 1840-1900....
One of the first things I met when starting to pick up collecting Argentina two years ago was discovering that the 20p JSM did not exist in offset-litho and that the 20p Servicio Oficial was no overprint!

And looking back to these early postings of mine finding a total misinterpretation of photogravure features, that even now get people annoyed when discussing the direction of printing:
