5 øre print 2 pos. 42 questions
Hello HC
The 5ore stamp is OM2 and the perforation appears to be position x2.
The frame marks suggest possibly one of the following:
1. Print 2 pos.42 (20.72) but the frame of this stamp is not RM 4D although the frame
marks are closest to those of 20.72.
2. Print 2 pos.72 (20.82) with no RM and the break on the lower frame line may possibly be the dent on 20.82.
3. Print 2 pos.82 (20.62) but again the frame of this stamp is not RM 4D.
Help is always welcome.

Hi Ed,
There is no doubt that your stamp is cliché 20.72 (5 øre print 2, position 42 (or 62?!) - “vandrekliché 17.144 - 20.72 – 22.59 – 24.61 – 26.147) with this combination of frame-flaws and OM.2.
For comparison please have a look at “De tofarvede 5 øre – update december 2013”, page 17.
RM.4D? Yes! Hard to recognize in this print – best by the little red dot besides the first feather in SSW – but very clear in setting 17 (see full sheet of 8ø14B) and also later in setting 24 (12ø7 and 20ø5 pos.61 – see attached scan).
The break in the lower frame line, mentioned by Lasse Nielsen only in setting 24 and setting 26 – on the full-sheet of 16ø6 (setting 22) only the break of the inner frame line is visible, which may be accidental - is surely an extra characteristic for this cliché from setting 20 on.
Best regards! Bernd
