Dear all, I added to my collection this beautiful stamp engraved by Jacob de Paris printed on Lacroix Freres paper (some has watermark). In this case and as it is of general interest to me, it has a mark on the back. This is where I turn to your expertise since I understand it is a French brand "TIMBRE POSTE -J-". Of course, any information will be very welcome. Best Regards Alejandro  |

Sorry, no idea on the backstamp, other than a wild guess a dealer mark J Moens? Could not find any expertiser mark for signature "ME" |

Thanks for your post, Alejandro ( confiligrana ) It looks like a very nice stamp, so assuming it is genuine, congratulations on that! As for the markings on the back, I pretty much agree with Rod ( rod222 ). I think that the -J- TIMBRE POSTE is a dealer's mark, and I think that the initials in the corner look like an owner's mark more than an expertizer's. Just my opinion. There is a thread for worldwide stamps with markings on the backs here: thestampforum.boards.net/thread/2347/markings-on-backs-stampsShown there is a fairly comprehensive bunch of all sorts of markings on the backs, everything from dealer and expertizer marks to other impressions that may have been on the paper even before the stamps were printed (maps, currency, etc.). Personally, I think your stamp is much more interesting on the front, as this may even be the first post of an image of a stamp issued by Buenos Aires on the Forum. Bravo! I don't think these markings on the back are of importance in this case. Again, just my opinion and others are welcome!  |

The stamps were typographed from electrolytic plates but the die was engraved in steel.
I have an interest in these stamps as the 3 sheets included in Peplow's book 'The Postage Stamps of Buenos Airies' in 1929 were printed by Perkins Bacon from plates originally purchased in 1923 by Alfred Lichenstein from Estaban Latour who had produced many reprints from the plates in the 1890s.
