K4
OFFICIAL KARTENBRIEF
10Pf

Issued in 1897. The front design is the same as that of K1-K3 and K5-K8. K4 is the fourth of 8 Kartenbrief with this 10Pf 'large eagle in circle', pre-printed stamp.

There are three types of K1 to K8 Kartenbrief and they are determined by the length and position of the word "Kartenbrief" as well as the design on the "K" as below:



ABOVE LEFT: Type I. Closed 'K' and 'Kartenbrief' shifted slightly left.
ABOVE CENTRE: Type II. Closed 'K' and 'Kartenbrief' shifted slightly right.
ABOVE RIGHT: Type III. Open 'K'. (Does not apply to K1 to K7)

The design of the reverse is the same as K3, 7 lines of text, but now the inside of the envelope is a smooth grey without any pattern.
