356 Cv P-12 Dl Fake?

Just need an opinion before I put this in the fake folder. Looks like a Scott 356 however it is very narrow (24 mm). Also the bottom edge is not straight (the top is straight - my picture doesn't show it (I have ordered a scanner). You can see how the design is offset at the bottom (trim job?). It appears to have a DL watermark. By the way, is there a good way to find these watermarks on the yellow W/F stamps??? I have ordered a T2 Signoscope so maybe that will be better than my tray and fluid. I also tried different color filters to no avail.

Sometimes stamps with one natural straight edge have the other trimmed to make a fake coil. The edges will look obviously different from each other, especially when scanned and magnified. The trimmed cut looks very clean while the natural straight edge looks "fuzzy" or rough.

W/F watermarks can be very hard to find. I have stamps that must have either a single or double line watermark, but I can't see anything. Let us know about your experience with the signoscope!

Agree that this stamp is not tall enough and difference in top/bottom edges is a problem (bottom edge definitely trimmed). Always keep looking though!
