I ended up buying too many of this series from the APS stamp store recently & ended up sending one set back.
One other set I hadn't done anything with is perplexing me. The 1997 reprints: the un-touched set is listed as re-engraved 1988's issued in 1997. So are there two printings of these 4 stamps (£1.50, £2, £3 & £5) issued in 1997? One set has serifs (Harrison), the other not (Enschedé). SG Concise mentions two printings, but then references an earlier issue. If there are 2 printings, why wouldn't they be given their own numbers?
Right now, I have the 5 issued in 1992, 4 re-etched in 1994 (£1, £1.50, £2, £5) and possibly two further prints(£1.50, £2, £3 & £5) from 1997.
It's late, my mind must be playing tricks with me.
TIA eh!
Peter
P.S.: Belgium was set aside while I worked on the Jersey souvenir sheets that arrived yesterday. Then I found 4 more of these Castle def's that I hadn't done anything to yet... I'll get back to Belgium eventually!

It worked for me just after posting, and have re-checked and it still works - it may take a few seconds to load. You can probably reach the same link by punching in something like ... U.K. decimal high value castles

Now that I have sorted these Castles out for now... I have 4 more to give away, along with an extra set of 1991 Christmas stamps. Free for the taking. If there's any interest, I'll pick the winner tomorrow. A couple different printings, a bit worse for wear on one of them. But free!

I'll make up slips of paper with numbers. Numbers assigned as to the order of entrants. Should be easy enough to figure out: 1, 2, 3 or 4. So far anyway!

Well...The stamps have arrived.
I was waiting for the draw and a winner declared.
Did I miss something? I guess I am the winner!
Thank you very much, Peter.

I had put the winners message up here, or I thought I had! I'm not sure what has happened here!
Glad they arrived safe & sound, Alan!
Now to search for the messages I posted for the winner!

Gone!
I did write up a post, but did I post it or not? And if I did, what happened to it?
Sorry about that.
Yes, alanl did indeed win the draw. Old age seems to be getting the best of me. And I'm only 66!
