Wirth discovered the first copy of this error in 1932 [almost 20 years after it had been used]…The second copy [this stamp] turned up in the 1950's…It seems remarkable that the errors may have been used in making handmade booklets without the error being noticed; yet no one seems to have noticed the error either in booklets or in regular stamp stock, as it obviously was not saved at the time for collectors and there is no record of this error having been noticed and destroyed by C.Z. authorities." .
