Hello Jacques,
I have a feeling this is a fine whiskers issue, so it should be Michel number Mi.5.II, issued in 1881 and rarer than Mi.5.I.
Best wishes for the New Year !

- I am delighted at your scrutiny, and agree that it is often difficult to distinguish the FJ issues, but there are indications that this Cavalla may not be a Fine whiskers. According to Ferchenbauer, there were no colour shades in this 1881 issue:
-
Reddish-brown Mi5IIA
-
Other shade (grey-brown?)- Fine whiskers??
The high quotation (2,000 ÖS) versus 150 ÖS asks also for prudence! Have a good 2017 year!

- They both seem to be fine whiskers edition. I tend to judge from the impression of the whiskers and not from the colour shade. See this: The Stamp Forum. It is quite helpful. Thanks for your wishes ! Actia Nicopolis (talk) 20:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
