ID questions

Hello people

It's about time I had a personal website, especially for stamp stuff.
So far only ID questions and a link page.
Could you take a quick look at
http://www.jandoggen.org/Stamps/StampIdentify.htm and see if anything is
familiar? I'm always surprised at the combined knowledge that is present in
this NG ;-)

Feel free to contribute anything to the links page if you like.
My intention is to have this be a resource for others; why else make it
public?

Bye,
and thanks in advance.

Hello Jan,

I had a quick look to your nice site.
Here are some first answers.
==============================================
F5 Thüringen stamps

You write :
I can't find Thüringen in my catalogue.
I'm using Yvert 1992 Tomes 3 (Timbres d'Europe de l' ouest)
and 4 (Timbres d'Europe de l' est).
Where should I look?

Not so easy to find Thüringen in Yvert as this region (around Erfürt in
Germany) is not listed in Yvert's index (it is listed in Scott's :
Soviet
occupation zones in Germany)

In my Yvert 2003 Tome 3 1ère partie (Timbres d'Europe de l' ouest)
it is on pages 289 and 290.

To find it in your 1992 issue, look after Allemagne Fédérale, then
Allemagne Berlin, then Allemagne Orientale, which begins with
ZONE SOVIETIQUE D'OCCUPATION
then
Berlin (Soviet sector)
Mecklemboug-Pomeranie
Saxe
Saxe Occidentale
Saxe Orientale
and ... at last ...
THURINGE

Your stamps were issued in 1945-46 :

6 pf green Yvert Nr 4 - cat value 2 Euros used like yours
20 pf blue Yvert Nr 7 - cat value 3 Euros MNH 1 Euro MH
12 pf pink Yvert Nr 6 - cat value 3 Euros MNH 1 Euro MH

Please note that stamps Nr Yvert 1 to 8 are with "gomme économisée"
(I imagine this means that the gum is quite scarce)

The same stamps do exist under Yvert Nrs 9 to 16 "Pleine gomme"
(Fully gummed ?)

Scott does not mention these different gums. It lists those stamps
between Germany and German Democratic Rebublic
(Volume 3 page 130 in my 1999 issue).
=========================================
F6 Provinz Sachsen

You write :
Is this transparent stamp for real?
Where do I find it?
Yvert 1992 Tome 3 (Timbres d'Europe de l' ouest)
has only listing for Saxe from 1850-1867.

Issued 21 Feb 1945
You will find it in Yvert "Timbres d'Europe de l' ouest"
under "Saxe" (please see my previous text to locate Soviet occupation
zone of Saxe in your Yvert 1992).

This stamp exists on normal paper (I have it somewhere in my shoe boxes
:-) and like yours on "papier pelure" (i.e. thin or transparent paper).

6 pf breen Yvert Nr 20A - cat value 0.50 Euro MNH 0.15 Euro MH
(Scott Nr 13N15)
=========================================

C7 Lundy : this is definitely a cinderella !!!

=========================================

I may give you some further answers as some other of your stamps seem
familiar to me, but I need some more time to search for them;

Hello Jan.

(26mm x 32mm - perf 14).
Hope this helps.

F3: Russia Western Army
Russia - Stamps issued by the army of the West.

It was led by Count Paul Mikhailovitch Awaloff-Bermondt, a
White Russian adventurer who sought, under the German
/ Polish General Rüdiger von der Goltz to create a German
controlled Latvia and to restore a Russian Czar in the Baltic
Provinces, in 1919. Defeated, he fled to Denmark.

There has been some debate in philatelic circles as
to whether the stamps served some postal use within
the area controlled by this army.

C6 is a Swedish documentary revenue stamp, used from 1895 to 1968 whem
a new issue of different design was released. Values went from 5ore to
25000Kr and maybe higher. Wavy line watermark with 3 different
perforations: 11, 12.5 or 13.

C7 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy
an island in the Bristol Channel, not the English Channel.

Please note that stamps Nr Yvert 1 to 8 are with "gomme économisée"
(I imagine this means that the gum is quite scarce)

I remember once reading when gum arabic was scarce
the gum was applied in a hatch formation, similar looking
to your 15c quadrille wmk.
I wonder if that applies to these issues?

Hi Rod,

I remember also having seen this kind of gum apparently applied through
a screen (hatch) ; I forgot on which stamp :-((

In that case the pace was very narrow (may be a 5th of a millimeter)
compared to the pace of the grid watermark in the French Peace and
Commerce stamp (about 5 millimeters - 10 times more)

This is the first time I was reading something on this "gomme
économisée".
I will ask on the French speaking philately news-group if somebody is
aware of it.
