fairdinkumstamps Is there a slight swelling in the lower left frame of the left value circle and/or a colour spot at left of the vertical colour line? If so could you give a higher resolution scan of that area please.  Tasnaki |

Tasnaki, Thank you, I would very much like to see your work. I won't be of much use to you as far as plating goes - my work has been limited to identifying the more striking flaws that I have found to be constant, mostly on single stamps. 23. White flaw under lion's back paw (Watermarks 65 and 68)  |

fairdinkumstamps I am working with a block that includes this one at the moment, could you check the watermarks please, I am certain it is plate 6, not 5. If you have WM65 then I have a problem!  Tasnaki |

Tasnaki, My sole copy with watermark 65 differs in that it there is ink present in the flaw. I had thought that it may have been an earlier state of the flaw. I note now that it appears to be farther to the right than the constant flaw. This is the stamp in question:    |
