I use a plastic cauge by Leuchtturm / Lighthouse. Not the "new design" that they released last year, but the one before that... |

I just ordered the Specialized US gauge, but I have been using a similar design to the Showgard gauge pictured above by Tom. |

I have a metal Correcto Gauge that look just like the first picture of the Buxton Multi-Gauge pictured above and I have a Merit Gauge, but my favorite is my Barnard's Herringbone Perforation Gage c. 1934, brass. |

I too have a Vidiforms gauge. I would also like to get a Kiusalas gauge some day for my modern Canadian pictorial definitive series as well.

Hi tomiseksj
That is my favorite guage also. I have 2 of them and both are getting worn out. Guess I should buy a new one.
When Showgard (Vidiforms) first started many moons ago this guage and a plastic "ruler" for determining mount size were given away free.
If I am doing a lot of stamps I prefer the Lindner Phila-Combi-Box.

I used the Unitrade "Perfect" gauge for most of my measurements. I also have a perf gauge that ranges from 5.3 to 10 for the modern self-adhesive die cut issues. The gauge was given to me by a friend, but they are available through the BNAPS Elizabethan II Study Group. More info here: http://www.adminware.ca/esg/perfgauge.htm |

I use a Lindner Phila-Combi-Box most of the time, especially when I'm sorting thru a lot of stamps. I use a SG Instanta Stamp Perf Guage when checking a stamp on an album page or in a mount.

Will be sending $5.00 in mint Canadian stamps tomorrow for that die cut perforation gauge. I am also buying one for a friend.
I have been meaning to do this for quite some time and this posting finally got me to send for it.

Bujutsu, it's a must have if you are into plating the modern die-cut coil stamps. Most often I use mine to try to identify the elusive commercially used single off a large roll of stamps (1000/3000/5000 depending on issue). It's also useful in separating booklet and coil stamps in the baby wildlife definitives. |

Understand realwesty
I have a lot of the definitives that need checking and I am sure that the perforation gauge will come in quite handy.
