I have a stamp that I think is 424B or known today as 423D. I checked the Perforations and they are 10x12 and it's on a postcard. Design A140 1C green. Does anyone think it's something else?
I just wasn't sure if you used a gauge. On my tablet the perfs look the same, but you can see it better than me. The gauge shows perf 12 side and perf 10 top and bottom? That means you would see about 10 perf holes on the top and bottom and 14 or so on the side.
The stamp appears to be perf 12 on all three perforated sides from the photo... possibly perf 11... it's looks like a right hand stamp from a pane... also the time period of usage is later than the time which would be expected for being 423 or 424, which would have been more in the 1914-1916 era... I could be wrong about it, I sure hope you are right !
Here's a good example of what perf 10 would look like... you can see how much larger the perfs are... and if you count point to point at the top, you'll see there's exactly 10 perf holes...
You seem to be new at this, and the proper use of a perforation gauge is not automatic for beginners. Any chance you could give us a pic of the stamp with a gauge lined up on the left side and another at either top or bottom? Many/Most gauges have markings on the edges as well as in the center to let you do this.
