Hi Rod
I've been checking watermarks on some Tasmania stamps. This one doesn't seem right - naturally that could just be me.,
It's supposed to be watermark 10 a V over a crown. But it seems to be upside down or just not right
What do you think?

Thank you!

Hi

This is one of the later electrotype printings which were printed on Crown over A paper. SG251 or 259. Watermarks are commonly found inverted and there was a printing with horizontal watermarks.

Eiger,
Further to Naki's response, see Fig 3.

Your watermark scans are excellent, how do you do that?

Thanks Rod for the watermark ID sheet, that definitely will come in handy.
