Hello,
I hope you are all having a great start to the new year. The stamp shown in the scan is perf. 11 1/2 on all sides. It is Wmk.1 Upright. Scott and Gibbons
lists the stamp in perf. 12 1/2 and Perf. 14. The cancel looks to good. Album Weeds does not mention a perf. 11 1/2 fake. Anyone??? Thanks in advance. OLDPAUL. Image Not Found

Can you, if possible, show it face down against the perf gauge with the dots aligned to the holes. Alternatively maybe a 2cm rule lined up along the edge.

Hello,
I tried to hinge the stamp to the perf. gauge holes. It did not line up to scan. I ruined the stamp in trying. My mistake. OLDPAUL.
