The one in question & the next 2 are tricky They are reprints   You can tell by the currency change - the letters circled The ornament between the numerals is different as is the shape of the lion. The other ones are the 1879-84 issues |

Just came across these in my files while working on a Bulgaria article Rarely seen, Scott lists them, Michel Euro & SG do not. They appear in some specialized catalogs. 1884 postage due large lozenge perf. Not positive they are originals    |

Just started Bulgaria, so here is what I have on my first page. It started life as a Steiner page, but I decided to add some boxes in the 1882 set to house a few different shades. Not sure if they are actually listed anywhere as I don't have anything to go by other than Scott and they don't list any shades for that set. Anyway, I had some duplicates so I thought I would incorporate them. I kind of like these little stamps, especially the pentagram cancels on some.  |

Another page finished. This is the small Lion issues. The Scott catalog lists 10 values in the main set, and mentions several perforation possibilities. But doesn't go into any detail. They also don't list any shade varieties. I found this online exhibit.. www.japhila.cz/hof/0089/index0089_001.htm..for these issues and thought I could figure out the perforations. But after going through the exhibit I realized I just don't have enough copies or material to attempt anything very deep. There are several printings of these issues that were made over the years, in different locations, with many perforation combinations possible, not just the ones mentioned in Scott. I did notice that Stampworld does list these with various perforations and decided to simply make a page based on that. They may not even be correct, but it is what I am going with right now. It appears, based on my own small stash that the coarser perforations, such as 10.5, will be harder to find. The few I do have are not in great condition. Who knows, I might find more since I do have other envelopes to go through.  |
