I have a one penny red Western Australia swan stamp, but instead of the crown A watermark it seems to have a Crown CA wmk. I cannot find a reference to that in the catalog. Any pointers?
thanks
Martin

It is confusing. Look at the 1890 set. It is listed as Crown and CA watermark, so that's your stamp, it's just that an editorial choice was made not to repeat the illustration of the watermark at the head of the listings.
