Good night.
Someone could shed some light on the watermark on this seal, as I couldn't tell if it is Unwatermarked (SC # 229), Wmk100 (SC # 280) or Wmk101 (SC # 251), or some other. The badge has PF 13.5 x 13.

I can see a 'W' and a 'G', where the 'G' looks like the shadow of the drawing where the 400 is. Can it also be 'M' and 'O'?

Can you help?

Thanks a lot.

Wagner

The 1937/39 issue has a watermarked described as Cruz de Cristo (cross of Christ) that includes the letters MO, but it would have to be sideways to match yours. I think it more likely there are letters on the edges of the paper and you're seeing those.

Never mind, the 1924/32 set has the watermark in the right orientation. 'CASA DA MOEDA' has the MO needed to match yours. RHM #223, Scott #280.
