I need a Michel catalog number for an Austrian stamp, Scott 75a, that is listed with a "small a". This is a pair of stamps or maybe it represents a block of 4 or something else collectors need to know. I looked it up in my want list and saw I needed it, so I bid and won it, but I should have done due diligence since I didn't look it up in Scott's to start with. The only B/4 I can remember are S/S or PB/4, but I have no idea what that "small a" is in this case. Once again I have 6 Michel catalogs, but Austria is not included in any of them. I do have one that starts with "A's", but Austria starts with an "O" in Europe. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mike... Scott 75a is Michel 89A. The stamp is fiber paper with lacquer stripes. The lacquer strips were to prevent washing of the stamps. This from the Europe Catalog Volume 1 Michel Central Europe.

OK Terry, thanks for that information. I'll have to check them out. That sounds like what the Austrians did with their Varnish stamps.

Unfortunately it´s even more complicated:
There are three different sizes of the varnish bars and two different perforations and another three special perforations
(Friedel-perforations).

Happy Friday everyone,
