Yet another example where print quality creates some interesting items. Here, I show the "normal" stamp, even though there is a slight left movement of the black (as evidenced in the upright arm). (Shown from my PB 28754)
Now, a very similar black-shifted stamp, however note the "extra" red strip below the other arm. Where did that come from? (Found in my PB 28752)
Nice flyspecking. Don't know about the extra red line, but have located a perfectly registered stamp with sharp image? Wondering would that be rare. What kind of press printed the stamp?
The stamp was printed by the "infamous" Giori Press. That press was the cause of a number of printing anomalies of commemorative stamps through the 1960s and early 1970s.
The red is shifted to the right, leaving a white area between the blue field and the start of the red stripes. This in turn put some red further to the right than normal.
I had originally thought this also, but the top example exhibits the same red shift, but no extra red "stripe". (It is also a different PB with all 4 stamps exhibiting the same features.) Just very curious, and a keeper, but limited value, I am sure.
