OF THE MONARCHY
Nos.
84-103
TYPE: A4, A5
ISSUED: August 26, 1913
PROCESS: Typographed
PERF: 15
PAPER: Watermarked double cross.
DESIGNER: (A4) Johann Bohm
DESIGNER: (A5) Edmund Tull
PURPOSE: Regular postage, but change in water mark
DESIGN: Turul and Emperor wearing Hungarian Crown
NOTES:
Again we find the watermark running vertical or horizontal
or vice versa in the stamps. There is one known error
the 35 cliche is found in the plate of the 50f, making
it a wrong color. Beware of stamp #97. In their zest to
find stamps with the watermark sideways, some have been
known to bleach the "salmon" No. 98 (which is
comparatively common with sideway watermark) to make it
be #97. One way to be sure you have a genuine No. 97 with
watermark sideways is the cancellation this should be
either in 1913 or the first two months in 1914. As is
usual with European countries, in the cancellation the
year is shown first, then the month, then the day of the
month, and lastly the hour of the date of posting.
