| Printer | "Harrison and Sons Limited, London, Hayes and High Wycombe" (printery of the original stamp) (Quotation: "In 1963, Great Britain ceded responsibility for the Trucial States' postal system.", So, all stamps of the so-called "Trucial States" were printed either in England or in Austria (the latter mainly Emirate Ajman). All other issues not listed in the catalogues and/or with lesser print quality (and mostly postmarked as CTO) are so-called "dunes issues" and as such seen as pure maculation created with the aim of financial fraud. The Emirate Sharjah was one of these "Trucial States". However, the less print quality, the CTO cancellation, and an unexact perforation indicate to one of the "dune issues" (probably produced in Italy) - but it can also be that the used offset-printing machine was new at Harrison & Sons and one was still at learning in handling.) |
