Reading Melville’s 1910 (second edition) “Great Britain: Line-Engraved Stamps”
I read that “In 1853 the small crown watermark underwent a slight modification, being rather taller and thinner”.
I do not remember reading this elsewhere.
I am wondering if this feature can be assigned to certain plates with certainty and more basically, if this second, modified SC type, is really distinct.
Logically, Alphabet II imperforate reds will show the modified watermark. Am I right?
