Bath 1805 - 1807

Sometime between March and September 1805 the handstamp changed again, with a new 28½ x 5½ mm handstamp introduced.  This handstamp does have quite pronounced serifs (eg. at the base of the "B" and the "H") - the measurements have been taken without the serifs, from the downstroke of the "B" to the downstroke of the "H".

Here are a number of examples, from March 1805 and March 1806 ...

... from June and July 1807 ...

... and from October 1807.
