I have the 2010 version and looking at 1908 Postage due issues ( Mi # 34 - 44), The first listing has the heading Billigste Sorte, which seems to translate to 'cheapest variety'
Then there are listing for
x - glossy coated chalk paper (no 14 or 25 Heller)
y - Thin, almost transparent paper (no 14, 25, 30 or 50 Heller)
and z- Ordinary, smooth paper (all values)
I note that the only reference to imperforate is that they are on the 'z' paper (and all values), and I have none, despite many other imperforate Austrian issues.
I have been removing stamps from pages and came across some labeled as 'Thin ordinary" and "Thick chalky", which I am equating to Scott's footnotes for this series, although the word 'Thick" is not used (nor is it used in Michel that I can see
Any idea exactly what Billigste Sorte actually means? Perhaps stamps assembled without regard to paper type?
