Hello,

I have a question about a Belgian stamp / Block

I have 2 BL4 "De Tassis"

1 with stamp and 1 without. But the stamps in the 2 blocks differ very clearly in color.

The one with a stamp is brown and the one without a stamp is rather black-green.

Is this a known color difference? Not in the OBP catalog.

Link Black green version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/79jlxik3icg56dk/20200303_155839 .jpg? dl = 0

Have you searched the Catawiki catalog yet?

In the Catawiki catalog I only find a mention of an olive black version ... this is comparable to my BL4 without stamp (with me rather black-green). But I don't bind anything back to the brown version.

Is there anyone else who has these color nuances? Is this rare? What about its valuation?

No color is stated in the OBP catalog 2020. In older versions "olive black"

This color is also indicated by the Michel and Y & amp; T catalogs.

For Stanley Gibbons it is olive gray.

M; i. can the brown specimen be a discoloration, eg due to the sun?

Correct, no color is stated in the OBP catalog 2020. I based on the color of the photo in the OBP Cat, which is rather brown.

If I find a color description, it is indeed olive black.

A discoloration does not really seem to me to be the case, because the "white" of the block around the stamp is almost identical for the 2 blocks. In case of a discolouration by, for example, the sun, this should also be discolored and not just the seal.
