3Preface
In this book I accumulate my notes on the
“Servicio Oficial” official issues during March
2009. Beginning collectors to this series encounter several stumbling blocks. The firststumbling block, which is encountered by collectors using the Scott catalogue, is that thestamps have been grouped using a scheme that is based on the major watermark types;ignoring the difference for the same watermark as used on the various papers, the variationswithin a watermark type, and the changes of other printing characteristics through 20 yearsof postal use. The second stumbling block, which collectors using the Argentineanspecialized catalogues encounter, is that the issues have been grouped in a looselychronological scheme that separates Argentinean papers from imported papers. I use adescription scheme for the stamps that is independent of the catalogs. Those who havestudied or collected this series for a few years have likely been confused by the catalognumbers. Most collectors in North America use the Scott catalogue, and most collectors inArgentina use the Petrovich and Kneitschel catalogs. These three catalogs have confusingnumbering schemes and all do not differentiate all of the papers correctly. The Klassspecialized Argentinean catalog comes closest to an accurate description of this issue, butmisses a few papers. I unfortunately have not had time to describe the inaccuracies found inthese catalogs.Referring repeatedly to the Argentina 1935-51 Definitives lengthens the text needlessly.From here onwards I use the descriptor Arg3551 to refer to this series. In addition, I refer to
the ‘Servicio Oficial’ as the ‘SO’ issues, and to the Departmental Of
ficial issues as the DEPOFissues.
