Lindner Stampscop Watermark & Condition Detector

The Lindner Stampscop is an essential inspection tool for collectors who want to examine their stamps beyond surface appearance. Designed to reveal watermarks, thin spots, repairs, creases and other hidden flaws, the Stampscop allows you to assess authenticity and condition with greater confidence.

Using either transmitted light (light passing through the stamp) or incident light (light reflecting off the surface), the Stampscop highlights details that are often invisible to the naked eye. This makes it particularly valuable for identifying watermark varieties, detecting faults and distinguishing genuine stamps from altered or repaired examples.

Depending on the lighting method and paper type, watermarks may appear:

• As bright images on a dark background
• Or as dark images on a light background

This contrast effect helps collectors accurately identify watermark types and varieties without the need for watermark fluids, making it a convenient and clean alternative for routine inspection.
