Welcome to the forum.
I would ask for help in identifying the following stamp.

Problem with identification - simillar to Mi 208IA Mi_20810

It looks similar to the Mi 208IA, but differs in that it has a light purple background, it also looks printed not with a steel engraving, but most likely with typography, it also has an unusual drawing width of 25.5 mm (height 30 mm).Could you help me what it could be?

hello darius,

I suspect the stamp is the 1917 edition Michel 204 I z = in lighter colors on gray gravure paper.

Hello Gerhard,

Thank you for your response and help with its identification. Indeed it is Mi204I. However, the problem is mostly with the light purple background in this stamp. This is the main reason I cannot fiond any similar case in the catalogue. I found it among huge number of stamps that were cut off from letters sent to Lemberg and vicinity.
