Sitting Helvetia I think, because of the thin paper and obvious red silk thread, this is from the 1856-57 printing. Printed in Berne on thin cloudy paper. Specialised 23E Michel 14II Scott 27a (Thin paper)   I think the thread is missing from this one and it is a medium thickness paper. Specialised 24B Michel 15II Scott 28   Any feedback would be appreciated. Darren |
