Michel has a footnote that the imperfs are 'unfertigen Restbestände', meaning 'unfinished remainders' (from printers stock). No catalog value assigned, but I've seen these sell at very varying prices (generally a buck or two a piece).
The perforated one seems like a 'gutter pair' from sheet. I don't have any resources for these, but I would imagine specialized catalogs would provide details.

What I collect: If I have a catalogue for it, I collect it. And I have many catalogues ....

Note that all of your imperf stamps have a much less defined hatching on the jacket compared to both jkjblue's genuine and his forgery. His forgery is line perfed whereas the genuine is comb perfed, and your gutter pair is also comb perfed (albeit a much more ragged perf on your gutter pair than on the genuine copy shown). The 1914 imperfs have a higher value in my SFK Serbian catalogue than the 1911 issue (ranging from 5 to 13 Euros for the values you show) but I don't think your copies look genuine. Genuine examples of both the 1911 and 1914 stamps will be on chalky paper. Can you tell if the paper on your gutter pair is chalky? I don't try the various tricks such as silver wire or rubbing the stamp surface on my lower lip, whatever that's supposed to do - I use a high power loupe or a digital microscope to look for paper smoothness on the surface (chalky paper is much smoother and doesn't have the porous surface seen on uncoated paper). I don't think my Serbian catalogue mentions anything about a gutter pair but I can't read Serbo-Croat so what do I know ....   Ryan |
