If you have any 1d plates that have been used with marginal inscriptions/selvedge attached I would be very happy to offer a good price. Many Thanks! Tim

It's much easier from the back. You can hold the stamp up to the light or place it face down on a dark surface - both can work. You can use watermark fluid to make things clearer as well.

Yes, I've got copies of all the information plus some additional notes if you're interested in penny plate repairs. Shall I email you a file or post hard copies? Tim

Ah! I suppose I need to decide how hopeful I am before shelling out for a certificate - Thanks Alexios - Tim

I bought a whopping collection of George V material last year with thousands of Royal Cypher stamops and I have to say, even though I'm a 1d red enthusiast mainly, I found them very interesting and attractive. I kept a few unusual ones and need some money now so am curious about the stamp on the rig...

I am interested in seeing the articles coordinated by GC Akerman relating to the sudy of the 1d red plates. If you could copy or email any of those articles that would be absolutely brilliant. Please do let me know if you would like me to send you any stamps for your trouble. Thanks again. Tim

What I am interested in specifically is the article by FM Johnson about 1d plate repairs please.

What I am interested in is the article about the repairs of 1d red SG43/44 Plate 88 written about by Dr Wiggins please and a scan or copy of these would be brilliant!

Does anyone have a copy oif the March 1981 issue that I could buy or borrow??

Does anyone have a copy of the December 1974 and March and September 1975 issues that I could buy or borrow please??

Does anyone have copies of the GB Journal from January 1974 to May 1977 that I could buy or borrow?? Tim

Also, I have made myself a colour guide which shows the ideal shades and also the point that Rose Red becomes Deep Rose Red and so on and would really like to show it to experienced collectors to see if I am accurately identifying colours or not! Tim

Also, I would really like to see an example of Bronze and Copper. Tim

Does Plum have a range of acceptable shades or not?

Does anyone know what the market value for a nice on of these would be??

I suppose I mean watermark reader really. Does anyone have a view of what the best way to look at them is?
