1918 5k Carmine First Issue, Imperforate, a complete sheet of 228 (12 x 19) printed on the back of a gummed genuine German military map, with the two outer rows printed without map on back (24 stamps). The sheet was folded once vertically and has various creases and tears in the margins, still overall fine and quite scarce as a complete sheet (a little over 7,000 imperforate sheets were produced only). These were printed in the month following Latvia's independence on November 18, 1918. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)

1918 5k Carmine First Issue, Imperforate, a complete sheet of 228 (12 x 19) printed on the back of a gummed genuine German military map, with the two outer rows printed without map on back (24 stamps). Each stamp is cancelled with a diagonal handstamp which we believe to be the Leepaja postmark (third iteration, which is typically hard to read), which would make this one of the earliest C.T.O. sheets, or perhaps even precancel. The sheet has a tear at right affecting one stamp, and has several creases in the margins, still overall fine and quite scarce as a complete sheet, as only a little over 7,000 imperforate sheets were produced. These were printed in the month following Latvia's independence on November 18, 1918. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)
