Stevens logo on the reverse pointed end of this bookmark
This design was not registered by Stevens. However, on the reverse is also a diamond Registration Mark, which is incomplete.

Both Darby and Godden list an alternative silk, identical in every respect except that the silk above includes the initials 'D.G.' after 'Victoria'.

The initials, " D.G. " are the abbreviation of the Latin " Dei Gratia ", meaning " By the Grace of God ".
