OK, let's try something different this time. I will show the reverse of the stamp and you tell us what the perfin stands for AND what country issued it. I think these are the most interesting of any perfins I've come across and have another pair where the perfins are the reverse of this pair. The prize will be this pair unless they are minimum value stamps, then we'll see about giving you a credit towards my auction lots.
Good luck!
Mike

Hey you guys, great job, both of you, but this was supposed to be a toughie, not a walk in the park. I should have known there would be very knowledgeable collectors of perfins out there, that would pick up on this beauty.

Here is the front scan of the stamps for everyone to see.

Bob, I'll contact you about your prize.

Actually, I am not knowledgeable at all about perfins, and don't collect them, but I know how to google! Big Grin May I suggest that you send the stamps to Smauggie, assuming that he is interested, which he appears to be.
