ISSUES OF THE REGENCY Nos. 428-441 TYPE: A25, A26, A31 ISSUED: 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931 PROCESS: Typographed PAPER: Wmkd. double cross on pyramid PERF.: 14, 15 DESIGNER: F. Helbing PURPOSE: Regular postage issues with new type of water mark DESIGNS: (A25), Crown of St. Stephen; (A26), St. Matthias Cathedral; (A31), Palace at Budapest. NOTES: As the values were depleted new ones were prepared on the new watermarked paper; the figures on the A25 and A26 are much thicker than on the 1925-26 set - there are no serifs on the "1" or "4." The steamer (A31) is nearer the right of the design, and is much smaller than on the 1926 designs. The 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 16 and 20 are known to exist on thin paper.

[Please note that nos. 442-444 are unassigned in Scott's Catalogue]
