Some values were re-printed in 1915 with new colours!





Is that correct????

Are the designs still the same although Michel uses the same characters as for the designs ...?

What is correct is that the 1911 printingings have line perforation L12!

And the later printings have L11 1/2 [or mixed with L14] ....

And how about the 1 Lewa??? L 11 1/2 (1915) with different width???

The same colour as in 1911????

An obvious change of colour [or at least shade?]!!!

Not just for the 1st and 25st but ALSO for the 1 Lewa!

Or are just shades involved???

So not just a colour or shade change!

Not just a change of colour!

A completely different engraving!!

Not just a different shade!

A completely different engraving!!

Why the new engravings in 1915???

All values: 1, 5, 10, 15, 25,30st AND 1 Lewa - are completely different stamps!! No varieties!

Not just the engraving, but also the lineperforation AND the type of paper..

There was a world war raging in 1915!

Was Bradbury NOT in the position of delivering new plates???

Were the 1915 printing really printed in Rome??? Or may be in Bucuresti???

A lot of questions after some 100 years since their being issued!

Has nobody asked them before???

Why did Michel make the crucial mistake of enlisting the second engravings of the 1 Lewa in the 1911 series?

The change of colour/shade is comparable to that of the 1st!

Obvious differences in paper:
