Crown Over A "Thin paper" - SG 261, 261a and 262 "T" and "OS" perfins. Do they exist?

I would greatly appreciate anyone's help to learn if these late 1912 printings of the 1d and 3d pictorials on the Thin Crown Over A paper existed punctured OS and T respectively.... if so, scans would naturally be wonderful if you have them. Brusden White do not mention them as existing with OS puncture, but naturally no mention of T perfins.

Many thanks
Jerry A.

Hi Jerry,

Yes the "T" perfs do exist. I have a small set of examples (85) with 51 12.5 x 12.5, and 34 the 11 x 11 perf. I only have two T perfs which I have attached. Give me your email address and I will send you the data breakdown on what I have. The Forth is T perf 7 x 6 and the one possibly used at Hobart T perf 7 x 7.

Kind regards JC

That's excellent news, John - many thanks. I suspected as much with the T perfins, but really good to know for sure. It is late now but I shall message you over the weekend via the contact link and we can hopefully touch base.
Cheers
Jerry
