I acquired a small batch of East Africa and Uganda stamps recently. In looking up the Scott catalog numbers some of the stamps have Watermark 1,2,3 or 4. I tried to google this to see what the watermarks look like but had no luck.
Would anyone know of a site I can go to that shows what each type looks like so I can get proper identification? Thank You.

These would be the British Colonial and Crown Agents Watermarks in Scott's catalogue.

Wmk. 1 Crown and C C
Wmk. 2 Crown and C A
Wmk. 3 Multiple Crown and C A
Wmk. 4 Multiple Crown and Script C A
Wmk. 4a Multiple Crown and Script C A (two different types of crowns)

These and others are common to a lot of British Commonwealth stamps they are pictured on page 49A of the 2014 Scott's catalogues.
