Does anyone have any possible explanation for this collector’s notation? It translates as “1883 edition continued. Examples of stamps with indentation” I’m not seeing anything extraordinary- am I missing something? Thanks for the help!  |

Thanks for your post, Terri ( philatelia). Am I right in thinking that the notation is written in Danish? I tried a translation app, but I didn’t get “indentation” as the result for “linietakning.” I got something else. Let’s try tagging Morten ( classicalstamps), who is Danish, to see if he can comment on the translation in a philatelic context. I am not at home right now, but I will also check the Scott Catalogue once I get back to see if they have made any notations about this issue. |

Could it mean line perf? Michel lists both line and comb perf varieties for this series.

In fact, this means line perforation (which is confirmed by a look at the stamps). Stamps of this issue in line perforation have a (partially very much) higher CV than those in comb perforation. |

Thank you for the help! Now that you mention it, I can see it - the corners are definitely all different - sure looks like line perfs. Really appreciate the answer.  |
