Hungary Stamp ID Question

This question pertains to the castle type released in 1960, 1961, and
1964

What is the difference between the 4 Forint variety (Castle - Eger)
released in 1961 and 1964

Scott # 1365, bright blue, 28x21mm, Perf 12 x 11.5 (March 3, 1961)
Scott # 1644, bright blue, 28x21mm, Perf 12 x 11.5 (1964)

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

No, you are not missing anything, but the stamp is -- the 3 1964
stamps (3,4,5fo) are unwatermarked.

Thanks................Scott mentions that the original set in 1960 is
watermarked (Multiple star watermark), but makes no mention in 1961 or
1964 of watermarks, hence the confusion.

The Scott catalogue doesn't list the watermark for every series -
it only lists them every now and then unless the watermark is different
for one issue compared to the issue immediately previous. If you look a
few issues back from the 1964 stamp, you will eventually find one that
specifies "unwatermarked". Same thing with the 1961 stamp, look back
and you'll come across one showing the watermark number. Every stamp
listed after that mention will have the same watermark until the listing
specifically tells you that it's different. From the introduction at
the front of the catalogue:

"Printing method, perforation and watermark apply to the following sets
until a change is noted."
