I have an Albania cinderella stamp as LD 3213723# (Vetekevarria 10 QINTAR 10) and it is clearly red, while this stamp is described as orange. However, when I take a photo of it, it also turns orange for me. Still want to change the description or are there 2 colors?

blauwhuis Since the original importer also entered the color, we have to trust that she did it correctly and that it cannot simply be adjusted.

The Cinderella may indeed exist in multiple color variants or one of them may have discolored over the past 100 years. Hopefully one of the forum visitors can provide a definitive answer here.

It won't be that easy to figure it out. It appears that the issue of these Cinderellas was subsequently reissued twice. Perhaps there were enough buyers among the collectors.
Someone was good enough to post images of his collection album of these issues on Tinternet.




When first issued, the red color seems more orange to me than in types I and II.

A definitive answer could be found in the book Geheimnisvolles Briefmarkenland Albanie , but I do not own that book.

And to make it completely crazy, there would also be counterfeits of these illegal issues ...

#3213723 could be a counterfeit, while #3323735 is an imprint on a real illegal stamp :)
Have fun studying!

I entered it anyway and made a change/addition to the orange version. I hope I did it as desired.
