This is my first go, let`s overlook the colour (a thicker greenish A4 sheet I`ve found home) and the flawy mounts (need to find a good available source). Any advice for paper (thickness, format etc.)? I have a desktop printer...I`ve scanned the back of a decently perfed stamp and I draw as accurate I could the sheet-watermark fragments as visible on the backside of each (although this issue has several perf varieties- the last one mounted seems a different perf...and an inverted `M`! First I found...anyway...) How would you keep stamps you collect for watermarks? (I don`t want to take them out from mounts to check them one by one for the wmk fragment I need)

INTERESTING -----never saw someone doing what your doing. I have seen people collect the complete watermark over different stamps.I have seen people collect city cancels and especially Austrian stamps that were canceled in foreign offices such as Hungary or Poland and others .You need to identify some of those town cancels.
Notice some of your watermarks also look inverted is that possible ?

These stamps have minimal CV and I have hundreds, so I have to do something with them. I`ve tried to sold bundles on ebay (100-200 5 kr, 3 kr with decent, readable cancellation, carefully checked for minor faults) for pennies, but noone wanted them. Then I offered about 8 (3&5 kr) with wmks, all in very good condition (no missing perf, tear, thin etc). I got 1.75 for them.
On the 1883 issue (as far as I know) the `ZEITUNGS-MARKEN` (`newspaper stamps`) wmk occured accidentally, stamps with full Z,T,U,G and S letters are rare. Till now I found none...The only upside down wmk I found till now is the last one, but I don`t think it`s rare (the Austria Netto Katalog doesn`t mention it would add any value)
