That's why I referenced the SG catalogue, they breakdown the printings further then Scott. Scott does show the later date printings in the catalog you have, you just have to infer from the dates that it is machine made paper. |

Quote: Scott does show the later date printings in the catalog you have, you just have to infer from the dates that it is machine made paper. where is that? How are you suppose to infer from the date when they are 2 separate listings and 2 separate Wmk's. It doesnt read that 9d can be wove or machine made paper or wmk 43 or 43A. Sorry I missed the post where you had mention SG I think. I just saw where you had said it looked like a 9d Scott which would mean its wove paper. |

S4L, that is why SG was brought into the discussion, Scott standard and Classic are good references, but when you need more info, sometimes SG or another source is needed. Even my Scott Classic only shows #9 a-e, SG is much more detailed, I'm only trying to help. |

Appreciate that. Just not sure on the " inference " and how it's a 9d.

I'm .using 2 catalogs to find the info, Scott shows 1932 as machine made paper being introduced.The listing for SC.#9d shows it was produced in 1937. So I went to SG and voila that listing has all of the attributes of the stamp in question, therefore I inferred that Scott Catalogues are not the be all to end all of references. So Sc. #9d meets all of the parameters of the SG listing. Ok. |

Like I already said - I didn't see the post about SG. 9d is not wove paper. Got it. Tks. Did not realize you were cross inferring catalogs. Tks again. |

Exactly how I use my catalogues. Scott does the heavy lifting, easily accessed, can purchase countries ripped from catalogue, pleasant font, universally recognised numbers.
Down to the nitty gritty, I then use Gibbons or any other specialty reference.

Yes it would seem so. But not sure what Lots of Luck has to do with it. |

How do you distinguish between Travancore 3/4 Indian chuckram of 1932 & 1937, to 1939? The latter is allegedly Reddish violet, and the two earlier are Mauve, but a faded or warn red can look mauve. Perf doesn't help too: The two earlier have 12 and 12 1/2, the latter has both. All 3 (4, if you consider two perf type in 1939) are Machine-made paper. |

I have been doing some looking around re: the above and found this thread: https://stampboards.com/viewtopic.p...87&start=700You have probably seen it. No exact info on your specific question, but a LOT of good info. I hope im not breaking any rules by posting another board link here... |
