Introduction

In this article, I will supply known dates for all printings and all parts of printings of the stamp 0,50F Marianne de Béquet (the precise definition of these two terms was given in the introduction to the stamps of sheets).

Printings 37 and 38, for which I showed a dated plate corner for each printing day, raise a problem. They use the same form cylinder AM on two different presses on the days of 15, 16 and 17.10.75, which is physically impossible. There is thus a mistake somewhere in the dates. We may also note that the press TD6-1 printed red stamps 0,80F Marianne de Béquet from 23.9.75 to 5.11.75 with the form cylinder M, 3^rd printing, which is another contradiction for the use of the press TD6-1 at the above dates.

We must note that on 11.7.77, the press TD6-7 printed stamps 1,00F Marianne de Béquet on paper with tropical gum, as shown on the two following pictures:
