It may be, but not quite sure. SG lists this variety as SG 125a, but the illustration is very small. I also don't have any other copies to compare. Am I right?
I would share your opinion. The top of the last "S" of the normal, shares a common height with the row of letters. Your last "S" is obviously smaller thanks to your close up. Bravo!
On a curiosity bent, I would suggest the IS'DS abbreviation is a creative adoption, to fit the print between the Monarchs. Never seen this abbreviation style before for "Islands."
Thanks Rod, that blow-up is much better than my old book's illustration. It is funny how a small shift can increase the(supposed) value by 30x. A great find for US$0.10.
