Hello folks, can someone tell me where I can find the watermarks for Bermuda stamps and why is it they are not where they belong in the book! Mainly #3 and #4 Thank you very much!

In Scott, the Colonial and Crown Agents watermarks are listed in the front of the book, by the die-type diagrams. Nowhere near Bermuda's listings...

Hi, thanks for that, I found them, but is there some way of knowing which is #3 and which is #4? I am trying to distinguish some Bermuda stamps ie. the 31 area and the 81 area. More precisely I have a bunch of A11 stamps. Thank you.

Fortunately, most BC stamps with watermark #3 and #4 can be readily seen without using watermark fluid. Just hold up to a light and look through the paper from the backside, or simply put the stamp face down on a black paper/surface. The quick way is to look for either the block letter style "CA" (watermark #3) or the cursive type (watermark #4).
