Austria #1 & #2 - Reprints ?

I have these Austria, #1 & #2 single & pair. They seem too good to be originals so was wondering if they may be reprints ? http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...on=view¤... http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/h...on=view¤... Thanks, Mark. --www.stampwants.com- seller cobbiestampswww.ebay.com- seller cobbie10www.delcampe.com- seller cobbie10 Currently accepting consignments for sale - 25% final sale value fee - all Ebay/Paypal fees paid. There were articles on the reprints in "Austria" -- the magazine of the Austrian Stamp Club of GB -- p12 of issue 63 of 1983 and on forgeries on p8 of issue 64 and p45 of issue 104, Summer 1993, plus a general review of literature on the 1850 set in issues 96 and 97 of 1991. Unfortunately my set of these mags is incomplete and Murphy has guaranteed that 63, 64, and 96 are among my missing ones. But I think someone else around here has a set. If not, I'll send you some scans of what I do have when I get out of the morass of about 4000 stamps on 12 days approval. Meanwhile, all I can offer is what SG Part 2 says: "All values were reprinted in 1866, 1870, and 1884, the 1k (in both colours) in 1887 and 2k again in 1894. All the reprints are on medium thick paper, and the colours are brighter and fresher than those of the original stamps. The reprints are for the most part more clearly printed." I think you'll have to be rather lucky to find a specialist at any stamp club you wander into, and the only real solution is to pay the costs of expertising. Chris |
