Scott 047 Or 047iii...?

Hi guys...Here is normal block of 047 "G" overprint...Along with a single shifted "G" overprint stamp..Single stamp is shifted .9mm up and 1.0mm to the left...Does is classify as a shifted "G" as per Unitrade..?

Also can some explain what wide spacing between "Gs" mean..?


Normal "G" on left stamp and shifted "G" on right stamp.

Looking at my 2012 Unitrade catalogue, the G overprint seems to have a significant range of locations over the four values illustrated. The 1c value has the G about where yours is, it is lower in the 2c and higher in the 4c. My guess (sob, sob) is that yours comes within the normal variation range and is, perhaps, not "badly" enough displaced.

As for wide spacing between Gs in a vertical pair, I have no idea. Perhaps the misplaced G occurs on a row of the sheet, which could cause a wider vertical space between it and the G on the stamp below it. But then, wouldn't there be a narrow spacing on to the stamp above it? I suggest that the variety appears on the top row of the sheet as it apparently is present on the UL and UR (blank) plate blocks and this gets around the "narrow spacing" problem.

Just my normal rambling. Wouldn't it be nice to see an example.

Look at the varying positions of the G across a single sheet of these...some high, some low

Good stuff guys..Guess I didnt have enough stamps to really analogize the differences..Case closed..On to the next one..haha

Here is a copy of the Shifted G variety





I guess on the O47ii wide spacing G in vertical pair, one stamp would have its overprint shifted left or right a few millimeters horizontally as compared to its other stamp.

and this is an example of the narrow spacing variety O12i, the spacing variety is the distance from the edge to the overprint.
