Rob's recent postings of his beautiful Australian examples prompted me to look into some of mine in more detail. I haven't yet found any white face versions, or others that he posted, but I did find what I had first thought was a new guide line, but we decided it was a Ductor Blade flaw in this previous thread. https://goscf.com/t/51424#51424

This is Scott 183A, or ACSC 196.



Notice, however, that it is very similar to my other example in that the Ductor Line only goes the width of the stamp, and no further. Interesting ...

I would have expected the orientation of a ductor blade flaw on this stamp to be vertical not horizontal but perhaps someone with more knowledge of this issue could look at this.

Looks more like some kind of kiss print.

Yes, it is interesting that all other examples of Ductor Blade lines that I have seen are all vertical. This almost looks like an Engraver's Slip, but it is much too long for that. I'd expect more features to be doubled to be a true Kiss Print, plus the line is too clean. Same for a Re-Entry. I am just not quite sure on this one.
