"Ash" is the 1928 Ascher catalogue (APS Library 1B) which as far as pneumatic items goes is identical to the 1977 supplement (APS Lib 55). See from page 871.
"Fer" is the 2008 edition of the Ferchenbauer catalogue.
"Mi" is the Michel Ganzsachen-Katalog Europa West 2015. Prefixing the number are the letters RU for Rohrpost-Umschlage; RK for Rohrpost-Kartenbriefe; or RP for Rohrpost-Postkarten. The order of the Michel catalogue is that of the imprinted stamp design!
"Sch" is the Schneiderbauer catalogue, second edition, with the 1988 supplement incorporated (there are very few changes from the 1st edition). A table appended to this gives equivalences for obsolete issues of Ferchenbauer (1981) and the Michel Ganzsachen-Europa (1978) catalogues.
"Col" is the colour of the imprint: B=Blue; Bk=Black; Br=Brown; G=Grey; Gn=Green; GB=Green-Blue; O=Orange; P=Pink; W=White; Y=Yellow; R=Red. Combinations such as GB or GGn indicate intermediate colours and could equally well have been written BG or GnG respectively.
"Des" is the imprinted stamp designs: Tel=1873 Telegraph; EA=Eagle Arms; EFL=Emperor facing left; Jub=Emperor's 1908 Jubilee; Als=Arms (large shield); Ass=Arms (small shield); Asq=Arms (square format); EFR=Emperor facing right
"Ins Col" is the colour of the inscription (same abbreviations as for the imprint).
"Perf": 'C' is Comb; 'L' is line
Note 1: all printings with supplementary imprints & private printings have been ignored! See Schneiderbauer for their details.
