Can anyone identify these knots please?
I think I recognise the reef and the fisherman's knot,
but the rest escape me.

Thanks.

Rodney,

Thank you for posting the picture of those stamps! It is not often we
see knots as a design element on stamps. Great stuff!

4 DH. is a "Sheepshank with an Overhand Knot", also called a "Sword
Knot".

2 DH. is an "Artillery Loop" also called a "Man-Harness Knot".

5 DH. is a "Sheepshank Knot"

6 DH. is, as you said, the "Fisherman's Knot".

2 DH. is, as you said, the "Reef Knot".

I double-checked these names in "Ashley's Book of Knots". Names of
knots vary and these stamps obviously celebrate Scouting. If one needs
to be precise, I am not sure if the name "Artillery Loop" or the name
"Man-Harness Knot" is preferred by Scouting. I also wonder if the name
"Sword Knot" is used in Scouting or whether they use another name.

Thanks again for the picture.

All the best - Brian.
