Remark

"Kreuz-Iris" printing was used until 1940/1941. Later, during WWII, it has been discontinued.
It is a special technique for the transition of the colors in the underprint and not easily concernible and a not really representable on a scan or photo.
The series, however, with and without "Kreuz-Iris" printing, are all known. Thus also unexperienced collectors usually do not have a problem with that.
