As previously stated, it is the 'cock-eyed king'.

I have found a few in my collection as well Wert. The beauty of this kind of stamp is that it is so cheap for the basic design (set of stamps in general) and you can have numerous copies of it to search for this variety.

your right Bujutsu...

This stamp in particular, I have sent to Ralph at re-entries because I believe it is not only a "cock-eyed king", but also a re-entry....Have not heard back from him yet to confirm it.

The "Cockeyed King" is only know on the coil stamp. Its appearance is different than the item illustrated here.

Studystamps is correct, it is known only on the coil stamps.

I was thinking of the 'extended mustache' variety, which is found on the regular stamps from this set.

Maybe Wert's stamp is just another 'flyspeck' variety????

Is that moustache hair going up the right side of his nose normal?? Would expect better grooming from a king.
