† Scott [1] notes that the stamps are also known imperf.
‡ Gibbons [2] states that "Printings were made on thick bluish and greyish paper and on thin yellowish paper.
In a plebiscite called for by the 1919 Treaty of Versailles following WW1, there was a 92% vote in favour of remaning in Germany. After WW2, the area became part of Poland, renamed Kwidzyn.
