REPRINT TABLES

1. The Reichdruckerei kept excellent records. That is why we have exact production numbers, as distinguished from the Leipzig and Hamburg reprints below.
2.The red asterisk refers to the origin of the 4200 stamps. They were originally part of the 5000 imperforate production of May 1879, ND II (Only 800 imperforates were kept. See Fantasy Stamps below) and were given perforations in 1884 as indicated here.
3. The rouletted issues marked with a red superscript "3" have 10X11½ roulettes and can thereby be distinguished from the original 10x10 roulette issues.
4. The rouletted issues marked with a red superscript "4" have 11½ verticle roulettes by 10 or 9, above or below, horizontal, and can thereby be distinguished from the original 10x10 roulette issues.

The Leipzig perforation holes are smaller than in the originals, making the perforation teeth wider and without points. They are blunt or "Stumpf" in German.

1. The Hamburg printing runs are designated A,B,C, and D within a time frame of 1891-1895 because we do not have more exact dates. Presumably the experts have reconstructed four printing runs by working backwards from colors and stamp types.
2 Since all Hamburg perforated reprints have 14 perforations, they are rather easily distinguished fron the genuine which have 13½ by 14¼.
3. The rouletted issues marked with a red "3" superscript have 10x12 roulettes and can thereby be distinguished from the original 10x10 roulette issues.

NOTE:
   1. The official reprints ( amtliche neudrucke )are identified in Michel by the suffix "ND." Test-prints ( Probedrucke ), not yet shown here, are identified by the suffic "P."   The test prints are numbered: 1 P, 12 P, 13 P 1, 13 P 2, 17 P, 18 P, 19 P U, 19 P, 20 P 1, 20 P 2, and 20 P 3.
   2. Only 200 pieces each of 13ND, 14ND, 15ND and 16ND were run off. They were to go to the postal museum. Of the 200 pieces of 15ND that were supposed to go to the postal museum, 50 "disappeared" and ended up in dealers' hands. Thus they are among the rarest stamps in existence and are, as stated by Karl-Heinz Schulz, Expertizer for the BPP, "ridiculously underpriced in Michel." A 16ND** sold at auction in late 2004 for $1300 and if people realized how rare they were, it would go for MUCH more.
