<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alec Sutton, post: 30190, member: 80&quot;]From your description I suspect you have an example from one of the original issues (1860s/70s)--not a 1940s or other reissue. The size, inscriptions, the [gum arabic?] sheen you described and general appearance support this.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, as you say, there are enough variables to prevent a firm conclusion without hands on inspection. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also possible that someone more expert than I in Gould birds could determine it just by seeing your scans. Sorry I couldn&#039;t be definite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
