Thanks Mario for the tip, I'll take a closer look at Tuesday next week.

@Enrico - Thank you for checking and for the congratulations.

I wish you all here in the forum all the best and above all good health for 2025.

Dear collector friends, while looking through my study collection I came across this cliché defect - the first K of KKPOST. Perhaps you have come across something like this before.

If you have any further information, I would be grateful.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas ...

Hello Massimiliano!

I now have Dr. Döderlein wrote an email. If he gets in touch with me, I'll let you know.

On this topic, a collector from Styria (Austria) also sent me an article from the Austrian Working Group (ARGE Austria) from circular No. 134 (Volume 37 - Letter 1/2024). I have attached it in the appendix. It's in German.

So you can assume that it is a fluted paper with no intention of counterfeiting. I incorrectly assumed some sort of ribbing.
If I understood correctly, it is a fluted paper.

Everything is not that easy.

Thank you for your contributions. Now I found another photo that I saved years ago. Ferchenbauer writes here about “horizontal, narrowly fluted paper”.

Good evening!

I received the piece shown below as an exchange from an Austrian collector.

I'm assuming it's a fake. Do you know how wrong ribbing like this were made? Do such forgeries appear on all values of the first Centesimi issues?
Or is this a coincidence in paper ...

I found a certificate from Ferchenbauer for the 6 Kreuzer shown above.

Years ago I was once shown a fluted paper (back) on a 3 Kreuzer stamp. It can sometimes be seen with other values. This corrugation can be seen horizontally and, more rarely,
vertically on machine- and handmade paper. Maybe not ribbed, but the ominous fluted machine paper? This is mentioned in the ...

Today I would like to show you a few pieces that are currently occupying me. I couldn't find such (exact) cliché errors in Stritzl's presentation.
You may have similar examples in your collection. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

I marked the most important features with a yellow arrow ...

Mr Wolfgang Feichtinger has given a tries in the club magazine Vindobona (2/2019) to present interesting articles about the classification of letter mail from Austria to the old Italian states/Italy until the founding of the General Postal Union. Here I show you his article on the Duchy of Tuscany ...

Ciao Alessandro!

It wasn't easy, but I think I found the solution, albeit with some uncertainty. This cliché “A225” can also be found on plate 1 next to the St. Andrew's cross and was later placed elsewhere on plate 2. I don't know in which position it was in plate 1 and 2.

In any case, it will ...

I'm showing here another A8 with part of the St. Andrew's cross.

According to Stritzl, the A28 (plate 2) was in position 191. He also referred to it as C33.

Ciao Alessandro!

In my opinion, the notch above has similarities to the A28 (its slightly offset to the right) in my collection.
I have attached my picture here.

I also find it offset on an A14. Unfortunately, both pieces are not identical to your stamp pictured.

Dear fellow collectors!

I'm trying to determine the position of the A16 in plate 2, but I need your help. There is a vertical stripe of 3 which was at position 69 77 85 .
I suspect that the bottom stamp is an A16. Here is a picture:

From October 1, 1916, the postcard porto was divided into two parts: official postcards with an imprinted stamp cost 8 hellers, but private postcards or postcards with an attached stamp cost 10 heller. With this difference of 2 Heller the printing, cutting and perforating of the cards could be ...
