The Federal Hunting Permit small die proofs on wove are listed in Scott for the 1934 thru 1958 Issues (RW1P2-RW25P2). It is believed that only one to three of each exist and a group was part of the Jeanette Rudy collection, which was gifted to the National Postal Museum. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to duplicate this set.
