In the period 1971-1973, during the transition to independence from (West) Pakistan, Bangladesh did not yet issue its own stamps. That is why an imprint was placed on the existing stock of stamps using hand stamps. Many different forms are known. There are bilingual prints, with the English name above and the English name below. In addition, monolingual imprints are also known, both in English and in Bengali. The catalog contains a number of stamps with oblique print ( #3471451 ). There also seems to be a difference in the size of the letters, and perhaps also differences in the color of the print. Unfortunately, there are also counterfeits/home crafts. There are also run stamps. Obviously there was no approval from the UPU. Who cares about that now? But stamps are stamps if they have run, even if only within the country itself. India was called upon for international mail.
I would add them to the country of Bangladesh. Period is 1971, 1972 or 1973. Take your pick. Then of course the question is in which issue. They may all have been released on different dates. According to some, each stamp should have its own issue. I think that is nonsense and would place them all under 1 issue. For example, that could be 1971 Emergency Edition, but come up with a better name yourself. You can easily do the rest yourself. Then we have to wait for someone with more knowledge of these stamps, who can improve, supplement and cross the i's.

You've got it all figured out now.
This is what it looks like now after a few haircuts:



A world of difference. Looks calmer and more professional.

As a user you can only do this with your own scan. Never modify a watermarked image and restore it that way. Then you get a 'double' watermark (and the quality drops to 96 dpi).
An administrator can do this based on the available image, and the resolution is retained (300 dpi remains 300 dpi).

If printing company is required for identification, then I am curious how I can see which printing company printed it on a stamp? Because then I can filter/search with that data.
In principle, a printer can never be the only point of difference between 2 stamps. If the stamps cannot be physically distinguished, then they should be considered the same stamp (even if they are not). But sometimes the differences are very small and subtle. Sometimes the postmark is decisive. Sometimes a grid size is different or the structure of the sheet is different, such as horizontal versus vertical. The edge data on a sheet can also provide information. There may also be a slightly different color or a different printing technique has been used, such as plate printing versus rotary printing. These are often features that you cannot get rid of at Lastdodo, but they are distinguishable and make the distinction between 2 or more stamps. Busier is then the only field with which you can indicate the distinction.
Searching for a printer can be useful if you are looking for that special issue. But those who search by printer will do so by the name of the printer, as it was at the time of issue. No one would even think to first study the acquisitions of that company. Moreover, it becomes difficult if both companies have merged (or been acquired) into one larger company. Again, a stamp contains little information about printing, printing company, publisher, etc. You have to look for differences yourself. That requires a lot of in-depth research. Fortunately, a lot of preliminary work has already been done. Preliminary work that is often included in (large) paper catalogs or can be found on the Internet. (Unfortunately, Rein's many works have been lost on the Internet). Unfortunately, Lastdodo still lags far behind these (paper) catalogues, which are also not without errors.

Collectioneur: Is 1902 Old Enough?

#5393993

Furthermore, it isirrelevant. To return to my original post: FNMT did not exist before 1893 and therefore did not print a Spanish stamp before 1893.

If the intention is not to fill in fields if there is no possibility of confusion, you can often also delete the color, perforation, and paper.

Collectioneur A few months ago it was decided to merge the printers De Post, BPost and affiliates with Zegeldrukkerij Mechelen. In Belgium we of course know that it is the same company and so it seemed logical. But I can indeed imagine that if they print for the rest of the world, these collectors have never heard of Mechelen.
Edit: We can have the same discussion a second time for Uitgever, because the name has also changed there over the years.

Esquerdo Raoul62 Charles1971
I believe that the printing company is mentioned on a number of stamps, but I suspect that the majority of stamps do not mention the printing company. Especially not on the old stamps.

By the way, I don't see BPost in the overview of printers, as indicated on #9941021 . Isn't BPost the publisher of that stamp?

Or as it is printed on the stamp Esquerdo . DE LA RUE.

It really says Harrison and Sons LTD. But that is what De La Rue has become.

He used that other paper catalogue.

Or he used the first image on Colnect or Stampworld that shows even the slightest similarity without looking at the details and then mixed all kinds of things together.

Or should I first consult a paper catalog to determine which printing company they have appointed for this purpose?

No Collectioneur a paper catalog is not necessary. See my two examples above #349639 Courvoisier (bottom right) and #9941021 BPOST (bottom left). The printing company is stated on the stamp itself. I can provide hundreds of examples where the printing company is stated on the stamp.

Well, the way the catalog works now. But yes, then it is better to use the paper catalogue. Then you are immediately relieved of the problem that someone has entered incorrect information, or worse, replaced good information with incorrect information.

The information does not match the picture, which is the later copy, if not the color is distorted and it is a copy from the other printing company, which does not appear at all in the catalogue.

Difficult question. There are many postcards in Postcards, but some of them are wrong,
This is how I understood it:
The cards with pre-printed postage are postal stationery that belong to Stamps.
Without pre-printed postage + image, they belong to Postcards.

So #9663895 belongs to Postcards.

Another nice example.

There is a Heraclio Fournier printing house in front of it. This was located in Vitoria. Fournier printing companies are a mess. The name changed several times and there are branches. #679253 was printed by Hija de B. Fournier Burgos.

There are three variants in maroon. One has the name of the printing company 10 mm. long under the stamp image, a 15 mm. long and the later, by far most expensive one (pictured with this item) has no name of the printing company below the stamp image. Still, it is always useful to know which letters to measure, especially if the first or last letter is faintly printed or invisible due to a stamp.

By the way, with an almost identical perforation and slightly different color (sepia instead of maroon), it is a stamp printed by FNMT.

For example #349639 can be found at Courvoisier (1880-2001) .

The activities of which were taken over by WSP, which became ISP with Cartor, where the ISP collaboration consisted of a raster intaglio printing company WSP, a lithography printing company Cartor and a specialty printing company Courvoisier.
