I can figure out most of the German in this catalogue but I have a problem understanding one explanation in the example given on page 10 of the 3rd ed (2009) illustrating a catalogue entry. Item 8 lists the variant design elements of a 4 note set; items 1, 2, and 4 are in black, item 3 is in red. The item 8 description indicates “bisher nicht belegte Stücke in Rot”. Does this mean that the items in red have not been previously documented but are known to exist or does it mean such items have not been issued or they have not been confirmed but may exist? There is a lengthy paragraph at the bottom of page 10 but just seems to indicate that if multiples are “nicht belegte” they are listed in red as one item (e.g. 3 x 50 Pf).
Thanks for your responses.
