Centenary of the National Anthem
- "Kde domov můj? 1934" - Part II

In the first part of this article I wrote, that we know that these rare sheets may be found in two different sizes.
And that we know, that this depends on, how the damp paper was put into the printing press, either along the fibbers, or opposite of their direction.
I wrote, that we also know, that the catalogues and the "Monograph part 1" state their sizes to:
Narrow size: 173,5 mm x 286 mm
Wide size: 174,5 mm x 284 mm

But we also know, quotation ing. Pavel Pittermann:

"The sizes stated in catalogues are only orient sizes, and as far as I know, nobody until now did had
at one's at his disposal to so many sheets to make a representative statistics".

But there are so many sheets with varying size, that you can never be sure if it has been cut!

So, how to know if the sheet is of "Narrow size" or "Wide size"?

In April 2003 I received an unexpected help!
Philatelic expert, and editor of Czechoslovakian post stamps catalogues, Dr. František Beneš, sent me a mail.

In this mail he added his annotations about the sizes of the "KDM? 1934" sheets!
With different sizes of the printings, sizes of the sheets and sizes of the stamps.
At the same time he added a scan of KDM sheets, with the measure method, which he received after an old German collector.

But the most important is the text in his mail:

"The size of the sheet, is not important when you divide the sheets in narrow or wide size, because you can never be sure if it has been cut.
But the "Size of the printing" always has the original size, and has a straight connection with the size of the sheet".

The scan, which dr. Beneš add in his mail, take it as directions for use, how to measure your sheets.

It's important, that all of you use the same method.

This is the actual situation, how far our research has come, till today, 2003 05 06 after maximally amount of "KDM? 1934" sheets.

Please, help me to increase our research!
If you own KDM sheets, please send me by mail their size. peter.hoffmann@swipnet.se

All information will be presented on my web site.
In this way we can build up representative statistics, for future help to future collectors.

Please use an exact ruler, and measure by the tenth of mm.

The measure method is:

Width of the printing: from leaf to leaf + width of the sheet (paper).

Height of the printing: from note to note + height of the sheet (paper).

Also, four measure result, per sheet.
