Details

Soloviev/Schmidt number: 4, 5 or 6 (see note below) The scratch on the stamp is caused by damage to the printing plate. According to Soloviev, this only occurs with the colors lia, graylia and red-lilac. Nevertheless, the characteristic scratch (through the K) is clearly visible on this violet stamp (image 2). The undamaged stamp was issued in 1878. It is not clear whether the plate was damaged in the same year or a year later. .
