I cannot be sure of my identification of this KING GEORGE head. it has wmk type 7 ie. Multi crown/A and as die II should be SG 100b………deep ultramarine.  now if that is ultramarine, I am Queen Marie of Roumania. COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS PLEASE ? i.ibb.co/XXZ2Tvk/9328424-C-9-D83-4275-A5-B9-74930404-D299.jpg |

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

I have a Type 1 and Type 2 in my collection and there are obvious shade differences. My Type 2 is on the right and much darker for sure Alex. For your example to fade to that shade seems unusual. Hopefully someone that specializes more than I do will have an answer. The photo of mine is for comparison purposes.  |

Thanks for reply hdm1950…….I cannot describe either of your two as “ultramarine”. Which suggests the deep blue sea. |

The colour names used in catalogues often have me scratching my head as well. Scott numbers for these are 72 and 72a. They also list a perf variety 72b. |

Well, I'm certainly not an expert, but would blue tones not fade to grey? It seems your KGV has more red in it.
