I am a little confused here with Barbados Britannia.
I have tried to find these 2 stamps in Scott Classic Specialized. I have also read a couple of related threads here on SCF and the provided links, but still can't find this combination.

(I even read about the forgeries)

These 2 stamps have the "small star" Watermark, I believe what Scott calls Watermark 5.
I also have Britannia stamps with the larger star (Watermark 6) and they are clearly different.

The perf on both are rough in places but are 14 1/2 (or close)

So… I don't see a Britannia "blue" 1 p, 14 1/2 perf (or any perf),
WITH the Watermark 5 in the catalog.

I am sure its right in front of my eyes (or I misreading the catalog).

Please show me what I am missing.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you both. At least I see #29 now and that the combination exists. I need to compare the watermarks more.. my other examples of Watermark 6 is very different looking than the first example I posted above.
Thank you again
