Sorsi u verifika
Parzjalment verifikatGanado examines archival testimony and conflicting accounts of the overprint. The 1926 year attribution is retained without assigning the ordinary issue’s 1 April date to this variety. Quantity, first counter-sale day and specimen authentication remain unconfirmed; the illustration is not an expert certificate.
