I would very much appreciate it if anyone could help me to complete the following list of PAID-cancels and meter marks (occupation period only). Do you have unlisted strikes or meter marks with alternative slogans or Royal Cyphers to the ones indicated? If so, please send me an email to zero@gmx.at. with scans attached.
Guernsey: Meter Marks N2 (Westminster Bank)
S/C PAID Handstamps 1d, 2d, 2½d and 4d
PAID Machine Stamps 1d (GT BRITAIN at bottom of date part)
1d (semi circle at bottom)
2½d (GT BRITAIN at bottom)
2½d (semi circle at bottom)
1d “324” in triangle instead of date part
Jersey: Meter Marks: N1 GVR (Jersey Electricity Co)
N4 GVR slogan “J.W. HUELIN LTD”
N5 GVR slogan “Le Masurier Ltd””
N8 GVIR used at Head Office
N9 EVIIIR slogan “ORVIS LIMITED”
N30 GVIR (Telephone Department)
M1 GVIR slogan “DON’T WASTE WATER”
M2 GVIR (Westminter Bank) both the “M2”
and the Royal Cypher are indistinct
S/C PAID Handstamps ½d, 1d, 2d, 2½d, 3d, 5d
1d made from a ½d stamp with filed down “2”
PAID Machine Stamps 1d (GT BRITAIN at bottom of date part)

Further questions concerning these marks are:
– can you report N1 and/or N4 from Jersey with the Royal Cypher GVIR ?
– can you report N4 (Jersey) with the slogan “Timber Building Materials”?
– can you confirm that N7 exists for Jersey? (slogan? Royal Cypher?)
