In offset-litho, only 1 printing order made in 1935: parallel watermark, symmetrical paper wire = 1E1. However, several printing orders must have been made for the bi-coloured, offset-litho printed stamps with "Servicio Oficial". They have not been described by D.A. Bardi though......

Tony, thanks for bringing all these scans to one place again! What you show here is definitely an offset-litho, it may seem even to be "tela" - do you have a scan of the back? But the combination of 1E4 and "tela" is not likely as 1E4 is always an orthogonal watermark and "tela" always a parallel one! How do we tell the 1935 1E1 in offset-litho and the 1937 1E1 in typography apart??? The latter one is not even mentioned in MT; the fact that the first issue is in offset-litho hadn't been mentioned either! 1935 offset-litho:
1937 typography:
The corners of the typography are almost always leaking and having some sharp points; the offset-litho on the other hand is smooth:
The offset-litho has delicate dots and lines; the typography has rough dots and lines and is usually rather irregular as the ink seems to be wandering whereever it wants to!
1940 typography on paper with an orthogonal watermark. All earlier 5c stamps without coating had been printed on paper with a parallel watermark. According to Dario A. Bardi - who does mention the parallel watermarkin typography in his overall table - an uncoated paper had been used that shows some shiny spots and is referred to by Bardi as "mate lustroso". I do not have a mint copy but indeed in the used copies you may see some remnants of a varnish [barnizado]. What is more important is that the watermark is orthogonal with a vertical direction of paper so the line of AR is horizontal instead of vertical as in the case of the parallel watermark :
Also according to mr. Bardi these stamps are the only imported papers with the transposed watermarks [filgranas traspuestas]. What is meant here is that the back of the stamp has the felt side of the paper and the front has the wire side. You can establish that yourself by closely looking at the surface of the back. It is very smooth as in most cases of the unwatermarked stamps [the "difusos" versus the "nitidos"]. The later watermarks that stem from the local paper mills have transposed watermarks predominantly! Practicallly everything from 1953 onwards has "traspuestas"! The consequence of this all - and I haven't read that at Bardi's - is that the watermark has AR on the dandy-roll instead of RA!!!!! So generically we have the following watermarks: 1935 -parallel - RA on circumference of the dandy roll - equilateral triangle 1937 - orthogonal - RA along the axis of the dandy -roll - equilateral triangle 1940, 1953/57 - orthogonal - AЯ along the axis of the dandy-roll - equilateral triangle 1948 - orthogonal - RA along the axis of the dandy-roll - isoceles triangle - better known as "rayos rectos" or "rayos largos" All 4 generical groups can be split up in sub-groups by measuring the diameters of the sun, the length of the rays, the other properties of the paper [wire, transposition, symmetry, UV-reaction, etc.]. |
