Carinthia Plebiscite, 1920
After the fall of the Austrian Empire, the Carinthian plebiscite was held on 10 October 1920 in the area predominantly settled by Carinthian Slovenes. It determined the final southern border between the Republic of Austria and the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) after World War I. On Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carinthian_plebiscite,_1920 The area did vote mostly to remain with Austria. According to our Big Blue friend JKJ at bigblue1840-1940.blogspot.ca/2011/07/missing-cs-carinthia.html, for years these stamps had there own section in the Big Blue Album, but were since moved to Austria as semi-postals, just as they are in Scott's today. I assume the were once listed under "C" in Scott? Now they are Austria B11-B29 This is a great Austrian set - it has overprints, perforated stamps, imperforate, coloured paper, and granite paper. I have the 1k on white and brown paper as shown on my page. Does anyone know if other overprinted values exist on different papers? Scott does not cover these.

The scan of the "Kärnten Abstimmung"-set is too colourintensive,compared to my set.
I guess the 1 Krone on brown paper is a kind of changeling.Possilby bathed in coffee or tea.
The "bible" for Austria-collectors,Michel Österreich-Spezial does not list any values with differnt coloured papers.
If such stamps would exist,they would have been listed for sure.

Thanks for the heads up on the 1k Karnten. All I have is Scott, and after #247 of the 1920-21 Arms set, there is a note that says: Nos. 238-245, 247 exist on white paper of good quality and on thick grayish paper ofinferior quality; No. 246 only on white paper. Values are are for the cheaper varieties. Seethe Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue fordetailed listings.Since some of these were overprinted, I assumed the same note applied to the overprints. I got these Karnten stamps, along with others on Ebay for very minimal cost. If it turns out to be a changeling, I will redo the page. I have to redo it anyway, with my miss-spelling of "Abftimmung"  Why would someone bathe a cheap stamp in tea or coffee? Maybe some other accidental exposure to some elements? Also, what does "too colour intensive" mean? I have the same set mint, and some other values used, and they all look the same. Maybe it is the scan? |

A little addition before I move on to other things & to test picture uploads These imperfs. are noted in Scotts but not seen too often - ANK - 3515-19 The Granite paper really stands out!      BC - your scan above is as good as can be expected When you scan a full page of assorted stamps, the scanner may concentrate predominant colors such as reds or blues or both I generally only scan individuals so I can see more detail and I have calibrated my $59 Canon 210 so it does a decent job I have had Epsons and some other scanners and never found the software that comes with them appropriate for good color rendition For the past 10-15 years I have used the industry standard VueScan - I got the pro edition & get many and all updates free |

Falschung explained well,why the colours of your scan are to intensive.
I guess you misunderstood your Scott cat.The for B11-B27 reads:Types of Austria 1919-20 overprinted in black.
This does not mean that actually the stamps issued 1919-20 were overprinted,but stamps of the same types only.
The stamps were printed in (slightly) different colours and on different papers (than the original ones)
just for for this (Kärnten Abstimmung) issue.The stamps do not exist without the overprint,except by error.
Michel quotes that a number of mutilated overprints exist.But as these are accidental and not plate-flaws,
they are not listed.But this does not mean they are worthless,quite on the contrary !
