K7
OFFICIAL KARTENBRIEF
10Pf

Issued in 1897. As with K1-K6, the design on the front of the card is the same, all with a closed 'K' in 'Kartenbrief'. K7 is the seventh of 8 Kartenbrief with this 10Pf 'large eagle in circle', pre-printed stamp.

As with K6 but now the upper and lower margin on both sides of the crease are not serrated. There is also no inscription on the reverse side. This card should not be confused with K8 which has an open 'K' but is otherwise identical.

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)
