Interesting and new for me are the colors:
All blues and green are very much lighter and softer.
Though the scheme-color remains the same, the overall coloring looks quite different from the other early Marteau-Grimaud.
This coloring seems to match in some points the remarks arcano made.
The copyright mark: B.P GRIMAUD PARIS is also much thinner printed
According to Peter Endebrok http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/rrz...s-de/st-f.html
the 1890 tax stamp has been used from 1890 to 1917 and from 1922 to 1940.
What leads you to nevertherless date the deck from 1930?
Best regards

Hi coredil
Please read my previous post:

On the 2 of Coins Marteau put the year "1930".
And I have never seen anything refer to Marteau's TdM in 1920s...
