18 og 77 omv. serien: gammel nyhed (B46) og
tilføjelse til LN (B69)
In his last
article Michael gave the good advice not to forget the
older literature about
the bicoloured. Just a few days later
a had to make use of his suggestion, when I found
a stamp from 4ø1 with one of the
biggest frame-flaws of this series - a rather big dot to
the
right of the VNV ornament and to the
left of D from DANMARK.
And I couldn't find it in
Lasse Nielsen's book ?!
But a look in Henrik Mouritsen's
article about the "18 og 77 omv. serien" in NFT 4/1995
was helpful:
it can be found on position B46. I do not know why LN did not mention it - despite it looks quite
it can be found on position B46. I do not know why LN did not mention it - despite it looks quite
accidental, this RF can be found from
4sk13 to 8ø2. The scan shows 4ø1, 8ø1b and 8ø2.
For RF 5.169 - the famous two missing feathers in the fan NV, see front page of NFT 4/1995 -
LN (pg. 1297) gives only "le. fan f. 50ø1", but
as you can see in the following scan, this flaw already
appeared from 8ø1b (which was printed before 8ø1a
according to Henrik Mouritsen).
The scan shows 8ø1b, 8ø1a and 50ø1b. And it
should be mentioned, that in the later prints
of this setting (4ø2, 8ø2, 25ø2 and 16ø2) this
flaw is not that distinct anymore.
