Hello! Can anyone tells me what the difference is between the engraving styles for these two Grace Kellys stamps, engraved by Czesław Słania?

Latvia won the first EuroBasket in 1935 and silver in 1939. Sadly, no stamps were issued to honor this. Lithuania 🇱🇹, our neighbors, did well commemorating their 1939 team. I hope for our 3x3 basketball team's victory at the Paris 2024 Olympics. #philately 🇱🇻

The highest value on Latvia stamp (period 1923 – 1940) was Coat of arms (large size) MI # 113 Due to their high face value, very few of the 10 Lat stamps were used, mostly on international parcel forms or telegraphic money orders. #philately

Acquired a photo of Col. Pavel Bermondt-Avalov, who led the Western Russian Volunteer Army in the 1919 Bermontiade. Latvia’s fight for independence was intense and bloody. He issued unique stamps with overprints on Latvian and Russian stamps during this period. #philately

Always happy to add envelopes with intriguing stories & addressees to my collection. The specific envelope has been part of the great philatelist F. Roosevelt's collection. In 1946, following FDR’s death, his family sold his philatelic estate through Harmer Auction. #philately
