@Roberto… Sorry, I have no knowledge of this. I’m quite sure somebody with access to specialized Denmark/perfins literature will response sooner or later though.

Hi!
I have a Danmark perfin, with fleur-de-lis pictorial perfuration. I need information about this. Can you help me?

Hi,

The stamp on the left reads “USMC”, for the United Shoe Machinery Company A/S in Copenhagen. That perfin was used from at least 1910 to 1918, according to the Katalog over danske firmaperforeringer 2001.

There are similar perfins from the same company on stamps from Italy and Spain.

I interpret blank to refer to lack of image, which is a different subject than holes inside the edges of the stamp (perfins). Don’t all stamps have images? Maybe it’s a selvage with perfins.
