This is getting more interesting? I look in the Vintage Gallery and they had one identical. Well in looking at it, it is not identical it is the same one. There is a imperfection that matches? Little hole between the T and the B. Interesting? Wonder what’s the history of that one? Maybe Danny knows?

Afraid not. If you look at the two in the gallery, the 'E' of 'WAFFEN' has blue ink mark, so the fresh-looking one may be a copy of the dull one, perhaps?

Or it could be the same plate making the same mark? Still kind of halarious that I end up with a example that’s in your gallery? Even if it’s perhaps a copy. Lol. Do you remember where you got the image of the clean one?

I have a feeling they were both up for sale on one of the auction sites. For posts like this I tend to hold on to images until I have several connected ones and post them at the same time - sometimes even if it takes years.

Look at the outter rim of dots between the two prints. They are very different, thus it certainly is not a copy of the duller one? Different size dots could come from how the stamp hit the paper? Another interesting thing is that mine is slightly off center. Seems to me if you were taking the time to make a copy you would center it? Hope springs eternal!

True.
