I was trying to double check the catalog numbers shown in a recent collection purchase and wanted to see if I am on the right path.

For the Penny Black:

SG Scott
2 1
1 1a
3 1b
??? 1c (invert watermark)
??? 1d (blued paper)

Anyone who can help with the last two Gibbons catalog numbers?

SG 1 is the intense black shade
SG 2 is the general black shade and used in basic listings
SG 3 is a grey-black shade from worn plates

inverted watermarks, normally have wi added, so 1wi, 2wi, 3wi

the blueté paper - plates 1 - 8 - has an a after the number.
