First Berlin overprints?
I have been putting together a collection of the first red and black
Berlin overprints (not the Russian) and have run into some questionable copies. Anyone interested in an making an opinion? Any links to references is appreciated. The one on the left, I suspect to be genuine, on the right, not so. Reasons...1) not the same size (smaller of the 2, suspect). 2) the center post of the "E" is wrong. 3) the tail of the "R" does not meet the circle correctly. Any opinions? http://www.southslope.net/~paradimes/berlin002.jpg http://www.southslope.net/~paradimes/berlin003.jpg http://www.southslope.net/~paradimes/berlin004.jpg Thanks! Wolf-==- |

Wolf,
The right one amkes the impression of being printed in typography..., the left one seems to be directed precisely between the parts of the postmark!
