West-Indische Maildienst

Koninklijke West-Indische Maildienst (Royal West-Indian Mailservice), Amsterdam; founded 1882, services to the West-Indies and New York (US), after image from Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon, 14th ed., c. 1907. White with red St. Andrew's Cross; top: red Crown, in hoist, fly, and bottom red letters W.I.M.

"Sandy Hook's 1930 W.I.M. flag is small, but there are no dots after the letters.  Furthermore, the crown is yellow in this version but that may be a mistake... or has it anything to do with the line becoming 'Royal'?

Griffin 1895, Lloyds 1904 and 1912 and Liverpool Journal of Commerce 1909 sheet all show red charges but Brown 1926 changes the crown to yellow. The name renamed the same throughout. Of these only Lloyds 1904 shows dots after the letters.
