Re: Crown over A Perforated T wmk sideways
Hi Andrew .. this stamps looks like SG 250e (issued in 1907 so it "fits" the pmk date OK) - the ACSC* narrows it down a little further to a perf.12.4 (T14a) and a perf.11 (T15a) with sideways wmk ... your example looks like the latter. There's also a compound perf with a sideways wmk. ... Ross
* the Australian Commonwealth Specialist's Catalog(ue) - "Kangaroos and The Early Federal Period, 1901-12" is the text for the Pictorials in my opinion as everything is listed in details except for the recess prints of course which a fortunately fairly straightforward anyway.

Hi Ross
Thanks for the info your knowledge is very much appreciated .But i might not of explained myself to well i am not to sure,near the back of lancaster book he has chapter on official perfins and lists T perfs he has seen on pictorials he lists 1d V over crown wmk sideways but does not list 1d crown over A wmk sideways .Would there be a reason for this ?

Re: Crown over A Perforated T wmk sideways
I don't think Keith Lancaster was a particularly interested in official perfins - I cannot remember seeing any extensive treatment of T (or OS) perfins in his exhibits. I was very enthusiastic about T perfins during the 1980s when K.L. was a regular exhibitor of the Pictorial issues at state and national levels so I would have been very attentive to such detail if it were present.
Therefore, I would say that Keith's list was intended to provide just an overview rather than an exhaustive census of what exists.

Thanks Ross
That explains it well thank you very much for that .I am Just going through my 1d T perfs i have couple hundred or so that was the only one i had, crown over A wmk sideways .Now i am going to try to plate a few of them i am finding that is not as easy as reading a book it must take many years to get so much knowledge even from one stamp there is so much to learn .

Re: Crown over A Perforated T wmk sideways
Hello,
I have about 200 1d. Red Pictorials punctured "T" and have managed to find seven examples of the Cr/A wmk. sideways with this puncture.
Perf. 12.4 Ulverstone Sept. 18 1909, Hobart Oct. 18 1909 and Lilydale ..... 1909.
Perf. 11 [illegible] Oct. 13 1909, Scottsdale Nov. 27 1909, [illegible] Oct. 6 1909 and Forth ...11 1909.
I have not attempted to plate them, but the stamps used at Lilydale and Forth show very nice examples of the retouch over "TAS" and therefore are from Plate 4 position 12.
J.H.
