I did a google and on site search and didn't find a comprehensive numbered listing, has anyone ever posted one here? Or can you point me to a site that has one?
Also, when a GB watermark is listed as a "lying watermark", are they refering to a watermark that is "lying" sideways?
This is an area that I've been putting off for years and I'm having a little trouble getting started.
Thanks for any help,
WB

The more common GB watermarks should be found in this thread: Watermark Wiki
As for 'lying watermark', I don't know but there's a reference here: Catawiki

The Catawiki page has the original Dutch as "Liggend" which probably is the nearest auto translate into lying but could also mean stretched as in recumbent, pretty close to sideways in meaning, which the image Ningpo linked shows as watermark.

I did find the Catawiki reference to "lying watermark" when I did a Google search, but it didn't really describe what it was refering to. Stamp World uses the term throughout the early to mid-century definitive series, but again, doesn't show what it refers to.(they may use it during other time periods too, but I didn't get that far)
musicman, those pages should go a long way to getting a good start. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the links and the help,

Just as a reminder. Standard watermark orientation as per (Stanley Gibbons) catalogue is shown looking through the front of the stamp. Watermarks can be inverted reversed or sideways or any combination thereof.

I'm getting ready to go through a boat load of GB definitive stamps and need a little help with watermarks.
