I have a question. I noticed that the Prussian officials all had the number 21 on them. I believe Baden has the number 10 on it ( not sure about Baden! ). I believe these represent districts but except for Prussia and possibly Baden no other district seems to have a number. I'm not sure about Baden since I only have a copy of OL16 and I think the 10 represents it's denomination! Has anyone else noticed the 21 on Prussian officials? Are there numbers associated with other officials? Scott's tend to call these Local Officials but only list Prussia and Baden under the LN code. Are there others? I know there are many German states but they don't have a district number.
Did a bit more research. Baden is Region 16 and this number shows up on OL16 - OL21. I believe there were other numbered regions, but the numbers don't seem to show up on stamps.

Thanks Don - perfect answer! Now I know there were only these two districts used on stamps. Prices for mint seem to be cheaper, so most stamps sere never used. One of the examples where used tends to be more expensive than mint.

re: Prussia, district 21

The 21 stands for Prussia, its called a Avers number, each German region had its own Avers Number.

A cover from 1895. Stamped in frame "Frei laut Aversß.21 - Kgl. Pr. Amtsgericht". This translates to "Free through Porto commutation agreements" The 21 is for "Kingdom of Prussia", Kgl. Pr. Amtsgericht, is Royal Prussian District Court"

One from 1889 with Avers number 15 (Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach).

re: Prussia, district 21

I think only two regions used the numbers on their postage stamps - Prussia and Baden - I could be wrong.
