The Rayos Rectos are considered to be the more easier of all. Type H is rayos rectos difusos, probably of Italian origin. Just as the rayos rectos nitidos which is type I of Pettigiani. It is strange that they are classified in 2 different types of watermark: VII and VIII respectively.... |

The Italian paper mill of Cartiere Pietro Miliani in Fabriano, Italy had been responsible for earlier deliveries of paper to Argentina - starting in 1915 - both for the production of postage stamps and banknotes. Should they have been responsible for the 2 types of Rayos Rectos it would be highly unlikely that they had had 2 different dandy-rolls. Assigning different types of watermark [design] for the Difusos and the Nitidos make this assumption questionable! How well can we recognize the watermark design in the Difusos??? Don't we realize that both types of paper have in common the vertical distance between 2 alternate rows of suns! Both have 35mm instead of 30mm! Only these two types of paper have 35mm!!!!! |

Argentina is the only country in the world where its philatelists have noticed the differences between the plain weave and there twill weave - without knowing the technical explanation - by distinguishing "granulado/grené" and "rayado"! This has to be stated at least once! The asymmetrical paper mesh - the type of trama that will accompany the trama [plain weave] that was omnipresent since the 1860-ies - does NOT occur in Argentina stamps before 1943! 17.02.1944:

the yellow lines represent the breaking of the gum! When turning your head so the blue lines are horizontal you will find the other, parallel lines as well! |
