Robi, could you please scan this stamp again, this time dipped in watermark fluid? That way we can see the watermark a bit better.

Robi, I do not know if you can get this in your country, but you can always try regular ( clean ) water. Try just a little and see if the watermark jumps out at you. Another way is to use lighter fluid, but of course you have to be very careful with that!

Peter, I used eye drops but it didn't help that much, have a look yourself.

Robi, eye drops will not do. That has oil in it. Use what I suggested ONLY. If you can not find watermark fluid in Slovakia please do not use any other fluids besides clean water ( distilled ) or lighter fluid. You should be able to get one of these at a drugstore.
But looking at your last posted picture, your watermark seems to be the one on the bottom left ( no 4 ).

It is watermark #5, the only one showing a leaf in that orientation with the loop just above and to the left.
