Unlisted Surcharge on Luxembourg-Ville’s First Horseman Issue

The background of the first Horseman issue consists of diagonal lines; that of the second consists of horizontal lines. In Benelux Revenues (2d ed.), Barefoot lists only three denominations for the first issue: 5F purple, 10F green, and 20F blue.  There is also a 50F brown (shown below), and the first issue included a 3.20F red (also shown below), which here has been surcharged to 6.40F.  Barefoot lists only a 6.40F denomination for the second issue, which I’ve not seen.  Denominations in my collection are 5F purple, 10F green, 20F blue, 50F brown, 50F tan, 70F blue, and 100F orange. Who has seen the second issue 6.40F?  Does it really exist?Are there other unlisted denominations. This is an issue that invites further study.  What are the perforations, shades, rates and uses?  Share your findings.  I’ll publish them here! This post was revised on 15 April 2014.
