I'm not sure if this is manipulated , from 2 to 4 sides?  Are there any wavy lines here? or is this "just" reversed inverted KPV? Perf. 9 3/4 (ugly stamp, sorry to see it like this, but trying to learn Sweden...have a lot to check out)     |

That Gustav II Adolf has a tale to tell. It came in coils and sheets, two and four-sided. Looks like someone wanted the rarely seen third kind.
Definitely a KPV watermark, Kungliga Postverket. The Gustaf V Left looks something like a wavy line, but not the lazy diagonal I'm used to seeing.

So you think they tried to make 3 sided? a B, in which case a terribly bad attempt.
But KPV should really be able to be read the right way from the back? So KPV is in this case reversed inverted?
As for Gustav V, yes it has clear signs of wavy lines but still, it deviates from the "normal". But worth checking because if I have found one with lines, it may have good value due to good condition and no "destructive" cancels.
I thought perhaps the paper was marked by the movement/pressure of the person who made the cross. But who follows the writing direction "cancel cross" and how the cross is written....but I don't think that's the reason
