Way beyond my area of expertise - someone else will have to chime in. I don't think it is a reprint - it looks good to me. Only relevant item from catalog - it says 'quadrille lines printed on paper' - which I'll guess is what those boxes are around the edges.

Would like some information on these I realise it is many months since you asked your Question nikhil . No these are not reprints. OBOCK and DJIBUTI at the entrance to the Red Sea actually produced their beautiful stamps in this way, imperf because they did not have a machine to perforate but with mock perforations drawn all round because the guy who designed them drew them that way to look like the stamps the rest of the world was issuing and thought the design looked better more complete. The printer just used his drawings, complete with frilly edge to print the stamps, that is the way they came out. Incidentally a similar thing happened printing the second stamps for SIRMOOR in India , this time a local printer was asked to make a new issue and used the first stamps as a design. He carefully drew the perforation edge in his printing even although the issue was going to be perforated !  |
