PLS. LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO SG. No 73 to 120
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! This is super interesting, keep up the great work on this blog!
ReplyDeleteDear Amal,
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful effort putting together these images into an album that is no doubt will be useful for everyone. I am particularly interested of Ceylon SG#31a (light brown) stamp. That is the only one in Mint condition i have ever seen online. Are you certain it is SG#31a and does it have the 'star watermark' of the era? Is it part of your collection? Thanks again & Job well done .
Hi Rajitha,
DeleteAs per my opinion this is the correct SG31a. I looked into my album and mine is also 95% similar but little lighter than this with a star watermark.
One major thing when you compare stamp colours using a computer monitor is that you have to switch your monitor's colour profile to CMYK. Printers use CMYK profile where as monitors use RGB profile (As per my understanding). Also one major aspect is that when comparing colours also try to view the stamps in natural sunlight rather than viewing those under florescent light. That makes a huge difference too.
Best regards,
Chandima
