Hi Raymeyou. I think you need to invest in a Scott catalog. It does not need to be a brand new one - ebay has plenty of used ones from a year old to much older. A Scott catalog will give you an aswer on most of these basic questions!

Raymeyou, the upside down and / or reversed watermarks are common and not really rare. Check the website that Don gave you above for a better understanding of these watermarks.
Also, you answered my question that I asked you on another thread. That's why KGB goes "?". Please repeat the answer on the correct thread so we can go from there!
