I have a question on imperforate stamps. This is East Saxony 15N3. In general, are imperforate stamps issued with gum ? or always without gum ? or can they have gum or no gum ? Thanks.
Michelle, It really depends on the country, and the stamp, and for what the stamp is used for (postage, tax, revenue, telegraph, etc.)
If the stamp is imperf and issued for postage, it's almost always gummed unless it's some kind of special printing. There are "exceptions" to this, of course, but vast majority will be gummed.
Also, I'm not familiar with this issue, but are you certain you have the ID right? When I search for this stamp, everything I find says that it is a Soviet zone stamp from 1945. The Saxony stamps I find are all perforated, and different color for the denominations. I'm not a world-wide expert, but it's just what I found. Might be worth a double-check.
