Hi Brian,
I can see the single "A" in the image, but from the image I can't tell if it is a WM 8, 9 or 10. Can you measure the perfs for us?

Regards ... Tim.

It looks like someone went hunting for "Roo Steak" with a blunderbuss.

I think it's the 1915 issue, second watermark, though I don't know how that relates to the Scott watermark numbers
