It is very difficult to determine referfs via a scanned image.
I suggest a perf gauge that measures to the tenth.
Stanley Gibbons supplies an"Instanta" Gauge that does this.
This one tool that helps with the elimination process.
Hope this helps

Dave, I don't own these, some stamps I was considering..
I am still trying to figure out why some of the same stamps of this era are so much narrower then others of the same type.. |

The first is reperfed on the right side (lower margin larger than upper margin).
David does have a point, though. It could be easier to buy these in person, where you can actually examine a stamp fully right then and there. |

All the rows of perforating pins were not spaced uniformly,,resulting some stamps being small than others. You can see examples of "Jumbo" margins in most early issues. I will dig up a few copies and scan them . David |

As promised These are examples of the vertical perforation pins being irregular spaced. In some cases there are examples of both vertical and horizontal perforating pins being irregular. resulting in one stamp in a sheet being "JUMBO" Canada's # 100 and 135 are perfect examples of this phenomena.

Ah. I see, But I think any stamp that has perfs in the design on both of the same sides and the perfs look really nice, would have to be reperfed.
one of the things I have seen is that perfs weren't perfect half-circles but oblong in shape. |

Thanks Haz..
I have decided not to buy any classic stamps worth more then 100.00 with either a cert. or guarantee.
I am carefully screening the people I want to buy from to give me the best chances..

The operator would set the cam, to adjust how far the sheet advanced after each puncture by a line of pins, hence distances varied with every job. Some single line perforations were advanced by eye, causing even more variance. |

So... for those of us unfamiliar with the rational, please explain why someone would "reperf" in the first place. Were they "recycling" stamps which had been used before? or? |
