Details

The distinction with the lithograph seal can be made by looking at the soldier's right shoulder. With lithography there is a white line that forms the contour of the shoulder and extends to the left frame line. This line is missing in letterpress printing. If in doubt, you can also look at the number of stripes on the right arm. In letterpress printing there are five.
