I have just received an order for some stamps for 1991-1995.

The stamp in question is at the bottom:

US Scott No. 2606 1992 Presort ABN. I understand that ABN stands for the American Banknote Company.

US Scott No. 2607 1992 Presort BEP. I understand that BEP stands for the Bureau of Engraving & Printing.

US Scott No. 2608 1993 Presort SV.

What does the SV stand for?

I need to understand because although it isn't the kind of thing that makes it a different "type", I still have to make a place for it on a page and have the SV over the space to signify why it is different from another stamp.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

That would be "Stamp Venturers" the private firm which later became Sennett Security Products.
There is a page at https://info.mysticstamp.com/learn/...mp-printers/ which lists all these modern producers which might be useful.
