Hi Treacan,

Michel # 10 , catalogue value 8.00 ?.
These stamps were used in Lithuania and Kurland.

Hi Treacan and Gerhard,
With the help of Gerhard's answer I found it in Scott.
The # is IN10 (design A16)
40 pf lake & blk
[end of Lithuania chapter
"Occupation stamps"
"Issued under German Occupation"]
BTW, why this name "lake" for this colour ???
On Treacan's scan

I see what I would name a carmine colour.
