131 REVERSED WATERMARK, Facit #113IC1aW2 [1927-28 40 penni M-17 Saarinen Lion, Type II, Perf 14.25 x 14.75, Bluish Green, Swastika Watermark Reversed] Used VF centered. Facit calls this an inverted watermark, but more correctly it is reversed -- printed on the wrong side of the paper, rather than upside down. A somewhat scarcer watermark variety listed by Facit 2017 at SEK 180, but in my experience it is much harder to obtain that value suggests.
