    Hello everyone,

    I recently acquired this complete mint set of the Generalgouvernement Adolf Hitler definitive issue (1941) with the following values:

    2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 50, 60, 80 Pf, 1.00, 1.20 and 1.60 Zł.

    What makes this set interesting is that every stamp has a sheet margin with the inscription "STAATSDRUCKEREI WIEN", and several different marginal markings such as:

    I/1
    I/2
    I/3
    I/4
    II/1
    II/2
    II/4

    (see attached scans of the front and back).

    I would appreciate your opinions on the following:

    Are these margins considered common or are they collectible as Randstücke/Druckvermerk?
    Do the different markings (I/1, II/4, etc.) indicate specific sheet positions or printing forms?
    Does a complete set with these different margins carry a premium over a normal mint set?
    Are there any known Michel Spezial listings or plate varieties associated with these marginal inscriptions?
    Would you recommend keeping the set intact or selling the stamps individually?

    Thank you very much for your expertise!

    Es handelt sich um 2 verschiedene Ausgaben, welche oft zusammen angeboten werden.
    Deine Marken mit Druckerzeichen sind MiNr. 71-82 von 1941, die anderen 83-88 von 1942.
    Die Druckerzeichen sind immer Feld 10 und werten natürlich höher wie die "normalen" Marken da nur 1 mal pro Bogen vorhanden.
