Fifth-design types — the actual stamps

Here are exactly the stamps (reference images of the stamp fields) listed on the Types. Click an image to enlarge it; the link below each image opens the field in the comparator, where it can be compared with the same field on the other plates.

Open spiral — Is

Plates I and II are dominated by closed spirals (IIs), so the open spiral (Is) on these fields is sought after. Fields 49 and 96 of plate VII are among the greatest rarities of the 15h.

Long crossbar — IIp

Long-crossbar subtype — IIap

Fields combining several types (e.g. 2/I with both the open spiral and the long crossbar) appear in both groups. All type fields are also highlighted in the position gallery.
