Decided to soak the 731 to see if Misalignment in right frame was a crease I didn't not think so! Haven't seen this before! Any comments welcome Thankyou   |

Hi Pshann, The 731 is Gundy, rated common on kangaroos. The other is a 1998 of Girvan, rated RRRR on kangaroos. As to the paper flaw, surely it is a pre-printing issue? Hope this info helps  |

Bobby
Thanks
Something went wrong.
The frame is certainly a mess.
Much appreciated |

A nice 6d diadem pair with inverted 231 of Coonamble, type 5R28, rated RRRR.   With contrast and comparison to Hugh Freeman's exemplar:  |

I missed this at the time FDS; a very nice find 6d diadem pairs with numerals aren't exactly common! |

Not a rare postmark nor perfectly inked but nice to have a complete strike of 1046 Nyngan on this 1890 pair of the Allegorical Figure of Australia.  |

Thank you for sharing those, Bobby De La Rue. There can't be many of the postmark/stamp combination below in existence. A challenge for members. I'll post my identification tomorrow if no one discovers it in the meantime....  |

Spot on, Bobby De La Rue - cancelled at Brighton, Sussex, England.
Would be great to see some of yours when you get the chance. |

Okay, guys. Fun story. But, why?
Was this sent from NSW, and the clerk missed the mark, leaving the clerk in Brighton feeling it necessary to more-fully cancel it? The ovals seem sufficient to cancel?
Favor cancel?
Best theory? |

Part of the Sydney duplex can be seen at the top of the stamp (the three concentric ovals would have N.S.W. within them).
Best theory is a redirected cover. |

According to Hugh Freeman's famous book, the only choice for this one would be 342. The appears quite normal on examples that I have seen but this one looks more like '34S' ! Images courtesy of https://www.postmark-reveal.com  |
