I should add that a particular colour shade cannot be attributed to a single time period. Both
colour shades were used in Maribor in February and June. The second shade could not have been
part of the second print run, because the next printing of this stamp in lithography (printed by
Blaznik) was only done on Type B paper in September 1919 (printings from April exist, but these
were printed on Type A paper).

A final request.
I hope I have succeeded in unveiling some of the secrets of the Maribor 20 vinar, but much
remains unknown, mostly with regard to print sheets and places and dates of use. I ask any readers
who can provide some additional information to share their findings with me (possibly with copies
of the material). By joining forces, perhaps we will be able to shed more light on the story of this
interesting but elusive stamp.
