Examples for the white paper group:
Two members of the white paper group.
Left: Hard paper, smooth surface, sharp perforation. Right: Soft paper, long fibers, bad perforation.
Remarks (in general / for this issue):
– Shifted perforation and large stamps with “wings” can be found commonly.
– Because of the existence of large stamps (inaccurate line perforation) single “imperforated” stamps can’t be count as imperforated stamps.
– Imperforated stamps are more rare as partly perforated stamps (vertically imperforated). So please be careful for altered horizontal “imperforated” stamps out of partly perforated stamps.
An example how single stamps with cut margin can fake the impression of imperforated stamps:
"Imperforated"?
Wide margins
Overlay
First picture: Possible imperforated stamp as we can see often around.
Second picture: Stamp before the perforation was virtually cut away.
Third picture: First and second picture in an overlay.
