GERMAN EMPIRE

MICHEL U9
OFFICIAL UMSCHLÄGE
10 PFENNIGE
Dec 1875. Again very similar to U7 and U8 above on white paper and now with only one variation. The length of the envelope is 146 x 83.5mm and the design of the flap has almost no contouring. It is possible to mistake U9 for a heavily faded piece of U11A. As U9 is much rarer than U7 and U8 it commands a higher price and therefore has been faked.
