In addition there are some differences in printing as well as misprints known. Sometimes, however, colour variations are largely due to old age and wear, not due to a real misprint. I am aware of the following variations and misprints (all have been found on multiple cards form different albums, hence no change due to wear): | |||
Different printing of the lettering Series II in three Swiss arms (wide vs narrow printing of the II). | |||
