Hi magic70
Used English spell check on your writing and highly recommend you try and find a way to do a spell check yourself as it looks like English is not your 1st language.
1 word I could not get was "akeurso" Maybe "print"
The image is to small for any of the KGV specialists here on SCF to help you.
Am also not sure about your drawings.
Hello! I have loads of stamps and I bought them before it got popular and now its seems difficult finding anything at bargain price that actually have a chance to be a millionaire in stamps! But here I have a King George 2 pence Australia stamp with a very fine watermarks which I have never herd off!Haven't seen anything on any king gorge stamp last year accept that sideways crown watermark exist and the backwards c variant which I have in my collection there is only 13 of them in the world and I have a Helvetian sitting lady 30 cents perforated 11 3/4 which it exist 100 of in the world I don't know price on that one!But back to King George I expect that King George stamps are highly priced when mistakes or altering akeurso I have drawn a picture for you of the watermark so you can see!It is on big star and one round crown and a narrow and a almost diamond capped crown!Is it a true Gem!Look and later ask me questions about it everything is welcome!OK here is the scan. |

Take a scan of the stamp face down in that black-backed holder so we can see what the back of the stamp looks like. |

I think I am not the only one who would like to see the back of the stamp anyway, even if we cannot see the watermark.
Without a scan of the back of the stamp, there's really not much we can tell you.
Ideally, it would be nice to have one scan of the back of the stamp dry, and also another scan of the back of the stamp wetted with watermark fluid (you can use the black-backing to serve as a dark background during the scan). |

It is a Scott #71, 2 Penny, King George V Sideface. Preferred method of reading a watermark is Wmk fluid, or simply soak 10 minutes in cold water. The Watermark design becomes evident.  |

Perhaps this helps. I think the thing at the top looks like a shell :).  |
