Interesting story behind this stamp set: "They were not sold at any Post Office, but were presented to a number of high government officials" (From Scott 2009 catalog)
The stamp pictured is Scott No 127. Also from my Scott 2009: "Lithographed forgeries of No 127 exist"
Hope this helps, somewhat.

I have translated the definition of "Nachdruck" from the Michel catalog:
"are prints produced on a state order, for the production of which a more or less modified or renewed original printing block was used, after the franking validity of equivalent postage stamps had ended.
Reprints that were not produced on a state order are treated as counterfeits"
Your stamp is officially issued (in Michel the marking on the back with "Nachrduck BHG" is mentioned).
It is perforated L12 compared to the original L12 1/2.

It is not an official reprint,but a private one.
Michel mentions it as a forgery.
Exist also with fake-cancellations.
Is of very little value.

The stamp is Michel #156.
This is what is written in the Michel catalog:
@snowy12, your stamp must be engraved.
There are also fakes, but they are typo print (Bdr. = Buchdruck)

@snowy12. I'm sorry, but there is no value listed in the catalog.
You can search on sales sites.
