German stamps with different widths

In the Michel catalog, the appearance of this difference in width is explained and 4 types B, C, D and CE are classified




Translation from the Michel catalog:
“The perforation was vertical from left to right and from around 1890 on the 2 mark stamp and the crown/eagle series it was also perforated horizontally from top to bottom
The normal stamps have 13 complete perforations horizontally, the width from the left to the right perforation base of the outermost perforations is approx. 19.5 - 20.5 mm.
Due to corrections to the sheet of stamps inserted for perforation, there were sometimes different wide stamp”.

This classification according to the number of horizontal holes and width is valid for stamps Michel 31 – 50 (Scott 29 – 51)

There are two Mi 42 (Sc 40) stamps in the post:
 


-normal stamp (13 perforated holes and width between 19.5 and 20.5 mm) and
-type B stamp (14 perforated holes and width of at least 21mm)



I hope you will find these stamps with variations in width in your collections and show them to us.
