This looks like type I - open loop, "foot down". See also https://colnect.com/en/stamps/list/variant/328913
agree it is type 1. Below is an image comparing the two types.
Oke Rogersmd you beat me here.
Bayern Michel 181 I (Open foot of 2)
Bayern Michel 181 II (Closed foot of 2)
Thank you all for fixing my lack of knowledge. Seems to me that all Scott catalogue had to say was open loop or closed loop. Very poor description, foot of 2 up or down. I didn’t figure I had the really valuable variety, but I had to check.
Thanks again,
Ken
This is Bavaria Scott #241, of which there are two types. I’m wondering if the foot is up or down.
Thanks so much in advance. (Please excuse my current lack of knowledge.)
Thanks, Ken
