Scott #R1 "MAK." Overprint [1907 10 Bit] NH Fine. Very fresh. Archival sale overprint ca.1971. The Danish "Mak." abbreviation, for "makulatur" philatelically means waste, canceled, defaced. [McRee states that there are four printings of the original stamps. I can only recall seeing one printing with the Mak. overprint, which would make sense since it is likely that only (or mostly) the final printing would have still been in stock when DWI became VI.] |

Scott #R2 [1907 50 Bit] NEVER HINGED with Average centering (perforations just cut the frameline at top), with INVERTED WATERMARK. The inverted watermark is known to exist but is listed with just a dash in the price in Scott. I have not previously recorded having an example of an inverted watermark on any of the five printings. If I have noticed any other dealers offering the inverted watermark, I do not recall. In my experience with inverted watermarks on DWI and Danish revenue stamps of this format (all printed by the same printer), the inverted watermark on a particular stamp is either relatively easy to find or it is extremely scarce -- this stamp is in the "extremely scarce" category. [McRee states that there are five printings. Over the years I have seen several of the resulting different color shades -- this example is a Pale Green -- but I have not seen them all at one time and thus I cannot supply comparison information. Compare to your collection. I do not know which of the printings are known to exist with inverted watermark. However, I feel confident in saying that if there were any inverted watermarks on this stamp that were sold in the 1971 archival sale, it was extremely few, perhaps just a single sheet.] |

Scott #R4 "MAK." Overprint [1907 2 Franc] NH F-VF, left marginal example. Very fresh. Archival sale overprint ca.1971. The Danish "Mak." abbreviation, for "makulatur" philatelically means waste, canceled, defaced. [McRee states that there are three printings of the original stamps. I can only recall seeing one printing with the Mak. overprint, which would make sense since it is likely that only (or mostly) the final printing would have still been in stock when DWI became VI.] |
