What has been added to the site — new articles, additions to the records and updates to the statistics. The news log itself is kept in Czech.

• 26. 8. 2026 New section Perforation shift – how the shift of the perforating grid against the design arises, what degrees it takes and why it is not a plate flaw; with a gallery of 28 items (29 stamps), from barely perceptibly unequal margins to pieces where the perforation runs through the design and a strip of the neighbouring stamp is left at the edge.
• 24. 8. 2026 New additions to the records: a horizontal pair with perforation H (Turnov, 15 March 1920) – the earliest recorded use of perforation H so far – two pieces with perforation E, Hoštka/Gastorf (31 December 1919, a post office new to the E records) and Česká Lípa/Böhm. Leipa (September 1919), and eight imperforate stamps from plates V and VI cancelled Košice, Plešivec, Lučenec, Brezovka and Malý Lipník. The statistics (6,416 dated cancels) and the cancel map have been updated.
• 26. 7. 2026 New article – a postally used imperforate 15h from the sixth plate (Košice 2, 13 July 1920, field 34/VI). The 15h cancel map now also covers legible cancels from plates 3 and 4.
