I'm really thinking about starting a new album. This one being the Turks and Caicos. Thanks for letting me know about these forgeries.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Turks Islands before 1891 with the star watermarks can be a challenge so my collection is more focused on the ones starting with the Crown CC. The top 2 are new arrivals.  |

I generally check to confirm watermarks of new additions to my collection and noticed that the Turks Islands Scott 41 watermark is sideways. I see Stanley Gibbons sold one some time back with the sideways watermark listed as SG51. link I do not have their catalogue so I am wondering if that is a unique number for this watermarking.   |

I am ignorant of the finer points of Brit papers and dandy rolls here is what I have with Gibbons commentary on general watermarks The Crown CC watermarks appear in these countries  Gibbons preambles  Look forward to perhaps, a solution to your query. |

Thanks michael That is exactly the information I needed. Sideways watermarks are normal on the stamp I have. |

Gibbons preambles  The entry in the SG Commonwealth catalogue 2023 edition:  Well, fascinating - I wonder when Gibbons made the change with their watermark illustrations from being viewed from the front to being viewed from the back? I'm currently working on Icelandic stamps (yes, still, forever and ever it seems) and the crosses watermark shown below is often found reversed, so it makes for total confusion if you don't know which side of the stamp you're supposed to be looking at ...  I'm not using my SG Scandinavia catalogue for this Icelandic project as I haven't found anything that isn't listed in my other catalogues - I'm using Scott, Michel & FACIT, all of which specify looking at the back side of the stamp for viewing watermarks, and I've also found a little bit extra (such as some reversed watermark listings / pricings) in Thomas Graungaard's online catalogue.
