Hello Everyone

Came across this stamp, and it looks weird to me. But that does not mean much. Because im a newbe. What I found out is listed in topic title.

Hope anyone can tell me more.

Thanks in advance.

well, since you're showing the back, I can tell you that it has a large crown watermark.

An straight edge on this issue would likely mean that the stamp was cut with a scissors, removing the perforations. More defect than feature.

The letters in the bottom corners represent the plate position - first letter is the row, the second is the column. These letters were reversed on the top of the stamp (row on the right, column on the left). Since I can see a "C" in the top right from the back, that means that it came from the third row - no way that that row could have been issued with a straight edge.

That's about all I can tell from this side.
C.

Thanks everyone

Unfurtanately the stamp is in a very bad condition, because its trimed. It has a certificate now. Retail value was around 400-500'pound if condition was good. Now retal value is around 40-60 pound.

Thanks for helping with this.
