K2
OFFICIAL KARTENBRIEF

Issued in 1897. K2 has the same design on the front as that of K1 and K3 through K8. K2 is the second of 8 Kartenbrief with this 10Pf 'large eagle in circle', pre-printed stamp.

On the reverse side the upper flap is not serrated all the way to the end. The inscription is the same as that of K1, as is the internal design (grey net pattern). K2 is differentiated from K1 by the flap serrations.
