Information Sought
It can be recognized in this article that there has been no clearinghouse for information pertaining to Danzig Perfins. If a philatelist has additional information pertaining to Danzig Perfins not included in this article, that information should be sent to Willem Smetsers c/o the ArGe Lochungen for their catalogue, Karl Kniep at the ArGe Danzig for the Danzig philatelists and John Bloecher for the Danzig philatelists in the USA, for inclusion in the Danzig Report. The types of information that is reportable are many and varied. The following are some of the types: 1) If you find an error in the information presented in this article; 2) If you find a perfin listed in the 1897-1920 list on a Free City Danzig stamp; 3) Conversely, if you find a perfin listed in the 1920-1939 list, used on a German stamp cancelled on a Danzig city or town before January 10, 1920. If you are the owner of one of the reported perfins that has not been catalogued, please submit it/them for inspection. Some are BEC, GK, H&R/Dz, OB and PB. If you have another piece of information like a new orientation not previously noted by any of the study groups, please submit this, also. Be sure to use the section on orientation presented in this article as a guide.
