Great Britain George V 1912-24 1-D Red Watermarks

Hello

I am currently cataloging a newly purchased stock of British Stamps from George V. I am quite an experienced collector from this period but have come across a very strange watermark on one of the 1d Red stamps from the 1912-24 era. The stamp appears to have the normal Simple Cypher (w100-Stanley Gibbons)but it is on the far left of the stamp when viewed from the back. On the far right appears to be a different watermark similar in appearance to the "Garter" marks on Queen Victoria stamps. I have never ever seen such a thing before. Anyone got any ideas or comments on this? I would be grateful to hear from anyone who can explain this.

Welcome optdoctor

Glad you could join us.

You should try posting this in the Worldwide classic section of the site. You may get a faster response. I don't have my catalogue with me at work but if you don't get your answer before I get home I will try to find it for you.

I think these stamps come from the sheet margins and what you see are parts ofthe word "POSTAGE", can't find a pic of the whole sheet of watermarks at present
