Does anyone have any information on this perforation error? Does it have a name? It appears to me that the sheet got caught, bent and folded over during printing...which caused the design to print over the error. Does this have any value?

Is it folded over or a second stamp (left hand edge) trimmed off and stuck on top of the first stamp? Don |

I do not know what a perf bend error is, but the only thing I spot wrong with this stamp is a cut right side. Looks like it is done with scissors, looking at the uneven way it was done.

OK, I see what the problem is. Hard to spot on my screen. It looks like a crude way of repairing a stamp? Could you show us a scan of the back of this stamp? Wow, I keep on cross posting!

It is 100% folded over. It is all one stamp. I can slightly bend it back into its normal form, but I don't want to damage it |

Looks like somebody sliced off the left edge of a misperforated stamp and glued it over the right edge of another stamp, so that the design is aligned.

It's not glued or cut. Look at the front design. Specifically, look only at the design on the actual perforated sliver. If it was from another stamp, that design would not look like that. Even if the other stamp was horribly misaligned and the design stretched into the perforation, the design would not match the inner part of the stamp like that. |

So, the blank paper was folded, then the stamp image was printed over the fold, then the paper was unfolded before perforating, then after perforating, the paper was refolded, and the stamp applied to an envelope.
I don't see it happening that way. But, who knows.
