Need Help To Identify Great Britain Stamp

Dear All.
This has been puzzled me, I have no idea what is the Scott catalog number for these 2 stamps.
Any guru here can help ?
Thanks A Lot !

Not New Zealand, but Great Britain.

In the Scott catalog, stamp at right is Great Britain #212 (note the solid background).

Stamp at left has horizontal lines as background, and will either be #161 (watermark 33) or #189 (watermark 35). I suspect it is one of the color varieties of #161. You will need to check the watermark and the color shade. There are also other varieties of these stamps that are not listed in Scott, but are listed in Stanley Gibbons.

Hi Ken,
welcome to the family,
Please consider to try and change your thread title to
something like GB:KG5 definitive so other students
can learn here :)
Hope you enjoy your stay.

Sorry, made a mistake.
Title Changed.
Thanks for reminding.

Well done Ken,
mistakes are OK in this family :)

Unless Rod makes them. Then, we are all obligated to jump all over him. Sort of a family tradition.

For a newbie like me to Identify the early GB stamps are challenging , the US stamp even worse.
You guys will see me posting "HELP TOPIC" from time to time.
Thanks in advance.

Post your stamps/questions any time. There are many here who are capable and more than willing to help.

You can not only ask for IDs, but also feel free to ask for pointers in how to ID them stamps. And Rod always seems to have the perfect picture or two to help illustrate some of the replies.

Yes, I just supply the images,
khj supplies the sage advice, and the intelligent
humour :)

lot of watermarks can't be seen by naked eyes, What is the best tool or equipment to check the watermark ?

Quite often Ken,
holding the stamp with tongs, over a black surface
will do the trick, or again, hold near a light
and introduce differing angles to your eyes
will bring the wmk into view.

If soaking, water will certainly or perhaps "ronsonol"
lighter fluid I have seen espoused on this newsgroup,
safety caveats apply of course, using inflammable liquid.

Rod, How to reply with quote ?

Ken,
hit "reply to topic"
hit the little red arrow shown in this image
then PASTE your copied quote IN BETWEEN the quotes
hope that helps Ken.

well I know that it helped me, cause I did not know how to do it. Thanks Rod!

Me too, I always wondered how to do that!

Nice touch! Thanks!

Or, if you aren't nimble with the mouse/touchpad or you hate trying to move the cursor and click at the right spot between the quote tags...

if you just opened up a new reply window, you can paste the copied quote first, then select all (CNTL A), and then click on the quote icon. That will automatically put the quote tags around the copied quote. Works not only here, but in some (not all) other software as well.
