Opinion : No Scott Type A59 Exists as Sc# 103 1926 1.5a Wmk 39 (Rose) or Sc#109 1929 1.5a Wmk 196 (Carmine Rose) Gibbons will be a better check.  Sc# 109  |

1921: SG 165 1 1/2 As. chocolate exists with watermark inverted, but not listed without watermark
1926: SG 198 1 1/2 As. rose-carmine no watermark variety listed
1929: SG 204 1 1/2 As. rose-carmine exists with watermark inverted, but not listed without watermark
2007 SG Empire.
Your stamp must be either SG198 (wmk star), or SG204 (wmk. multiple stars).
Cancel might be DEC 33. |

The stamp seen from the back: fifth perforation tip at the bottom a line running up towards the right and over 6th perforation tip appears to slope down again to the 9th perforation tip. If this is the watermark, it might be the inverted one. The ordinary one would have a symmetric 'point' pointing upward. |

The pic of reverse was taken with wmk fluid.
I can't see what you are trying to point out but I will keep investigating
Thankyou

I like most - would assume there would be some evidence of a wmk.
I can't see any
Appreciate your help and input
Will await other comments
Thanks |

It's there. NSK was seeing one side of a star "point" leaving the 5th perf, heading more or less northeast. The adjacent side is leaving the same perf heading more or less northwest.  ETA: Thanks to ImageSleuth |

Just be aware, not all crown agents stamps reveal watermarks.
Some are void of watermarks, for a variety of reasons.
The Dandy Roll is produced to suit a particular stamp format,
so that the watermark hits around the centre of the stamp image.
On occaisions the dandy roll will be used on a differing stamp format
in cases of emergency printings. Leaving stamps with part watermarks, or none at all.
One needs intimate knowledge of stamps that have this abnormality,
I think some are revealed in Gibbons descriptions.

I was thinking the same, but wanted the experienced philatelists to voice their thoughts first, that the multiple stars wmk is more likely to be blurred than the single star wmk. It might be a likely option in other wmks when it's hard to see. |
