Good enough for me ! But in that condition they value about 20% of unblemished ones. And that is good for my purse !

Despite living in a neighbouring country, I cannot tackle the "four-numbered" coat of arms series that was initially issued in 1875. I know that there were two different printers: Senate and Stamp Office (also called Karta Sigillata), but is there any way of telling them apart? Facit lists them separately, but none of my editions (1960, 1991, 1998 and 2018) gives any hints. I know that for most values, Senate printings are issued between 1875-82 and Stamp Office from 1882 and onwards. In addition perf 11x11 is mostly used on the Senate printings and 12½x12½, but unfortunately there are a lot of exceptions. I exemplify with a 10p perf 12½x12½, which I assume is a Stamp Office printing (and likely the olive brown shade, thus Facit 15Lb), since it is postmarked in 1884.

From a novice point of view, It can only be either 1 of 3 stamps 15SB 10 penni Olive Brown 15LB 10 penni Grey Brown 15LBa 10 penni Yellow Brown Colour alone, I would go 15LB (Grey Brown) |

norsten, Stamp World, see this link, has them as 11x11 and 12½x12½ for the 1875-1882 stamps and Perf 12½ x 11 from Karta Sigillata, 1882-1884. I hope that helps, Daniel
