Let me withdraw my request for more information about the #J63 postage dues. mdroth is correct. Varieties like these that occur in the normal printing process are generally not assigned separate catalogue numbers unless they are significant like an inverted overprint or missing color. I do not think I want to spend the time plating the stamp just to identify all of its variants. I do hope I have not dissuaded others from considering my future postings. I mean well.

Thank you Salentin. Am I correct in thinking that Michel is a German language catalogue? Are the titles in English or have you translated them from German? I'm hoping to find the original Turkish language titles. |

1st - Orman Konulu Sürekli
2nd - Çevre Sağlığı
Salentin's english translations are spot on...
If you did a 'literal' translation:
1 - 'Regular Forest Subject'
2 - 'Health of the Environment'

stamjay: yes,Michel is a german catalogue with all texts in German. They offer a wide range of catalogues,listing all postage stamps worldwide,but also a range of specialized catalogues and reference-books.Too many to know them all,but I think they also have some titles in English. In my opinion the best available set of stamp-catalogues,with two reservations: 1. a good knowledge of German is needed or at least helpful 2. they are costly,something like a Mercedes Benz of the catalogues
