Australia King George V Question
Happy Holidays All,
I am trying to use my Scott catalog (2004) to differentiate between the different Australian King George V issues, 1914-1936. What I have found for several of them is that I seem to have watermark and perf combinations not listed. For example: Scott 19 is the 1/2p Emerald issue Watermark 9(Wide Crown Narrow A) Perf. 14 Scott 60 is the 1/2p Emerald issue Watermark 11(Multiple Crown and A) Perf. 14, 14 1/2, 14 1/2 x 14. I seem to have either a Scott 19 with a 14 1/2 x 14 perf. or a Scott 60 with a Watermark 9. Do either or both exist? I am guessing that Scott is not the definitive resource for any country, but I wanted to check to see if I am missing something. Also, aside from buying more resource material can anyone suggest internet sites that can assist me as I try to distinguish between various issues like this? Thank you in advance, Carl Anderson Phx AZ |

Thank you in advance, Carl Anderson Phx AZ A useful cross-reference of early Australians will be found at http://web.archive.org/web/200202030...lia/index.html (the original site seems to have gone away -- this is the Wayback Machine archive which is missing a few pictures, but the text is there.) The SG numbers given there don't match my edition of the cat and I don't see a 14 1/2 x 14 there or in SG Commonwealth 2002, but SG say the exact perf for the 1914-20 set was 14 1/4 x 14 or 14.2 x 14. E-mail me if you'd like scans of the SG pages, which have loadsa varieties, but be warned that the JPEGs are rather big. Chris |

Thank you in advance, Carl Anderson Phx AZ According to Gibbons Part 1 2007, the 1/2 penny green exists on the second watermark (narrow crown (pointed tops to the crown)/narrow A) in perf 14.25x14 (SG20), a very rare line perf 14.25 on the same watermark (SG20a), and on the multiple crown A watermark perf 14 (SG48). There are shades and watermark and plate errors (with the watermark sideways and sideways inverted on SG48 being very tasty items indeed). Tony Mac Gillycuddy |
