Does anyone know if this comes in an unwatermarked variety. I cannot find that kind of variety, but I cannot find a watermark either. Can anyone help id this stamp and maybe a near value. Thanks - Jeff

No unwatermarked varieties recorded in Gibbons, but from memory, the watermarks on these stamps are often hard to make out. It's either an SG 3 (multi crown CA watermark) and 30p, or an SG 20 (multi script CA) and £2.25.

If you do find a watermark, and it's inverted, you're in luck: SG 3a used is £2500.

Jeff there is an unwritten law in Philately,
if someone points you to a major find,
then you supply a complimentary bottle of
Champagne / wine / or aftershave.
