    I'm not fully versed in early Austria varieties but am learning.

    First scan is of bog-standard 5h 1908 issue but is in blue not green. Actual colour is actually slightly bluer than the scan. Date top left seems to be 1906 (but a bit indistinct). Any ideas?

    Second scan of a 5h? arms has a 1901 postmark. It is similar to the Austro-Hungarian arms issue of the late 1880's in style but has no central value.

    Thanks for looking....

    The first stamp is a normal green one, where the colour was changed by sunlight or chemicals . This is typical for many green stamps.

    In this state it is only a heavily damaged stamp and can be scraped.
