I can't make my mind up about this packet to be honest.

It looks so new!! I have never seen a small blue Maria Schenkl packet in such pristine condition!!

The print on the back of the packet looks good. But I can't make up my mind about the print on the front. I have looked through old threads for similar packets, and there are a few, but just can't be sure.

Anyone have any comments?

strange i just got on hold for me a similar package today,these seems very new and i don't have a good feeling on these,also if you look at the design of the letters and the 1939.the cross that came with the package however is a deschler thats the reason i want the set.

Isn't this the make of the tan packets that are usually cat at the top, apparently to remove the name for post war sales?

For me it’s genuine I have one in exact same condition and matches perfectly with the tatty one I have in regards to construction font and material especially if you check under a decent magnifying glass or device

for me it's a copy. I based that on the actual print which is highly suspect out of a printing technique perspective.

I've seen two types of Maria Schenkl packets, and both differ from this. Also this blurry designation mark...I'd say I'm not sure about these packets from this thread at all...

[Destruction]

Let's compare.

And the early type which is totally different...

these packets do come in 3 colors blue purple and tan when you get them in hand you can tell they are period packets

Hi Shane,
You're right about colors, here comes the purple one to complete the line.
But we still have problem. Designation mark on a purple is different from packet started the thread.
Moreover, both blue and purple packets (original) are left folded, and have the same maker mark (I mean the lines of makers mark, not writings), which is also different from right-folded thread-starter.
I'd love to check it in hands, so far I'm still in serious doubts.

So which one you have? Exactly the same as shown in the beginning, right-folded? Can you post good quality scans?
