I have noticed one more difference in these two stamps and that is in the shade or density of the violet colour on both the stamps. Simpler still, just place both the stamps on top of each other and if the perforations don't match you know you've got both these. Simply measuring the no of perforation teeth between two cms of a regular scale does the trick. The perforations can be measured by a perforation guage, but as I dont have one yet, I just stick to counting the perforations using a regular scale and thats how I have identified these two apart. ![]() ![]() C12, the first stamp in the picture above is perf.
