Remarks
Note the woodgrain. Prewar impressions with 'C' seal or no publisher seals had very distinct sky and foreground woodgrain. Impressions with no publisher seals were most frequent. Postwar impressions with round seal used the same keyblock with different colour blocks.
The museum impression seen with 'G' seal is very possibly a prewar impression with a counterfeit publisher seal.
