WildingDefinitivesThe QEII definitives were issued with three different watermarks and these are all known with training school bar overprints and school specimen overprints. There is little variation in the overprints with only three types of bar printing and these are listed as W1, W2 and W3. The same is almost true of the School Specimen overprints with 6 variations and these are listed as SS1 to SS6.
