South Africa Bi-lingual pair ID
Hello Fellows, here is another question about my Bi-lingual South
African pairs. Trying to identify my used pair of the Scott # 44 ( I think). I ran across this quandry. For the non Scott users it is the 2'6p of the bi-lingual pairs. As Scott indicates, the photogravure issue, 1930-45 "the shading below the country name is solid OR shows signs of wear". So far everything is good. Then I came across another copy that has an additional line of inking below the country name. The stamp that shows this is the underlying stamp in the photo. Scott also says that "the engraved pictorials are much more finely executed and show details much more clearly than the photogravure". On the underlying stamp, the shading below the country name is solid, not composed of fine lines as indicated in the description for the engraved stamps, but the actual image has less detail than the one I suspect to be the photogravure. From what I can tell, the pair is the more detailed of the two. The pair is the non hyphen issue, so it is earlier. Does that make sense? Any help please. Thanks!

Looks like I'm going to be spending a bit more time with my few dozen examples that have been neglected so long. Like Colin says, this has got to be one of the more confusing and difficult series to identify that were ever printed, by any country. Makes the US Wash/Franklins a piece of cake. So I guess I'm going to have to go to eBay and find some misidentified issues. Could be some opportunity there. Knowledge is power!!! Cheers all and thanks for the links. Wolf-==- |
