P&R 1 10c Rivadavia in offset-litho

[Rein]

For those who wonder what that type of paper was!

An asymmetrical paper wire with an orthogonal watermark Multiple Suns + AЯ having an intrasolar vertical distance of 35mm!

AKA Rayos Rectos Nitidos or Neat Straight Rays!

Last seen in the 3p Eva Peron memorial of 1954! The 10c Rivadavia is probably from the same batch of paper...

The 10c Rivadavia in offset-litho in type C! The Servicio Oficial has a so-called double print that probably is rather a shaky offset-cylinder or the so-called direction of printing effect . Does it always tends to the top???

It looks like shaking caused this double action. I have shown a stamp similar to this one a long time ago.

In type B I haven't been able to find possible candidates for a root block.

Just one flaw that probably occurs only once per sheet;

Orthogonal watermark, asymmetrical paper wire - rayos rectos:







Parallel watermark, asymmetrical paper wire - rayado vertical:







Orthogonal watermark, asymmetrical paper wire - Zárate:

In the AFRA No 111 of January 1957 I found an article written by Juan Luis Bottelli who refers to this flaw as on position 75 of composition A - hence in the top pane!

He does not mention it and I had overlooked it:

there is another flaw in the left-hand neighbour in position 74!!

Rein,
Thanls very much for the great enlargemets you did showing the three types of brown 10c Rivadavia.
Now, the different A`s to which type belong?

José,

type C has always been considered as type A [or called type IV by some] as they both have the rounded collar!
