1902-05(1911?)Melbourne print Perf 12 1/2 Wmk 70 v and crown inverted Ok so I don't have a SG just a old Scott's (ya I know no good for Australia states) I'm curious I've read a bunch of posts on the topic of Western Australia watermarks I haven't seen much about the v and crown mentioned too frequently in them I was just wondering if anyone could add any information?  |

Silly question but it's a single v and crown per stamp? I believe so. Nothing really wrong with the Scott catalogue for Australian states. There's information there that's not in the SG catalogue. |

So the sheet size could make it difficult to get a single watermark on the stamp
two partials on either of the sides of the stamps
Would be the best explanation?

Now, the most interesting thing on this stamp, is the Postmark. Personally, I had never seen it before ! Always something new on SCF.  |

How cool would that have been?  |

I'd suggest your stamp is
Group 4
Watermark V Cr sideways then Upright
Colour : Reddish Pink
Plate : Melb 120 , two of, usable together
Perforator: 12.5 x 12 Line 11
First date: Wmk sideways circa May 1903, wmk Upright Late 1904
Officials : PWD, WA and OS
Scott #76
check your perforation guage, not 12.5 x 11 =$600
