Picked up this stamp recently purely because I hadn't seen this flaw before........... I'll probably find thousands now



The genuine article doesn't have the extra ink 'island' on the left

"The 1d Map flaw looks like a typical non-constant surface printing intrusion"

I Googled that phrase but came up with nothing so I'm none the wiser
