Although not listed by Scott, the DDR and Posthorn Watermark exists both horizontal and sideways on most issues between 1953 and 1957. The sideways versions are exceedingly rare, and list in Michel in most cases for thousands of Euro each. In addition to this though the watermark itself comes in two distinct types: Type I and Type II. On Type 1 the letters DDR are 6 mm tal, and are narrower than type II. On type II the letters are 5 mm high and appear wider. Also, the posthorn is both wider and flatter on type 2.
