Ross,

Do these underprints disappear from used stamps with soaking?
I've never noticed such a marking, but would have lots of stamps to check for it.

Great stamp. I would count the Dilston Falls used in Dilston in the category and an even better item. I believe I saw one in a lot I couldn't afford some months back - wish I had it though.

No need to ruin more stamps in the sun, yellows and reds will fade or disappear in most cases. I understand there are publishings of chemical transformations that can be accomplished. In general, I hope the fewest number of casualties happen, and that means fewer freaks for the unknowing to query. I...

I wanted to add a little summary of my perfins as I'm trying to learn more about them: I have 4 OS sideways 1p, seemingly all used in 1906, 29 other 1p and one normal 6p. (None missing pins.) I have 7 A, of three sizes, one is a 2 1/2p. I have 86 T perfins, of various numbers of dots and alignments,...

I just found a 2p dated 1904 with what looks to be 68 pins.
I am just starting to understand perfins, I have a few dozen with T, OS & A (lg and sm holes.)
Some of the T are very poorly aligned, on one the top is completely to the side of the vertical.
How scarce are McK perfins to begin with?
