Sorsi u verifika
Parzjalment verifikatThe specimen-based study explicitly attributes this date and physical group. Independent contemporary corroboration of the first-sale day and specialist examination of the physical stamp remain open.
Noti tar-riċerka: All ten values are attributed to 16 April 1925 in the specimen study. Imperforate status is intrinsic to the original issue; tête-bêche arrangements or plate flaws are not additional basic stamps.
