Perfin
In the context of postage stamps, perfin is a contraction of 'perforated initials'. Organizations would use a perforator to create perforations forming letters or designs in postage stamps with the purpose of preventing pilferage. Formerly considered to be damaged, postage stamps so perforated are now highly sought by specialist stamp collectors.
