Just a little bit doubt on the erased stamp. I don't know how many different ways German erasing previous marks. But many examples showing they simply putting ----------- or XXXXXX over previous stamps, they did not care that way being beautiful or not (actually, beautiful from today's collectors viewpoint).

Totally erased.... then, a natural question: how do we know that's a unit mark, not an importer stamp?
