It's the definitive British stamp with the sculpted profile of Her Majesty, created by a man named...you guessed it...Machin.

Welcome to SCF Badge56! You'll soon find that the Forum's search function is sometimes an even better resource than Google.

It took me years to discover that Mr. Machin's name is pronounced MAY chin.

Welcome Badge, to the forum. But let this be a lesson to you.
YOU'VE LET THEM OUT! (which isn't necessarily a bad thing )

And my favourite Machins from the "Profile on Print" prestige book.

Intaglio Pane :



Letterpress Pane :



There is a third from the embossed pane but does not reproduce well.

Yes, Bayman.

It's good you mentioned it. I'm surprised the website didn't come up sooner.

Also, be aware that Robin Harris, keeper of that site, has 3 sets of Machin Album Pages available for download. The "entry-level" set is free.

Finally, Mr. Harris also a free PDF book for beginner collectors.
