I gave this one its own topic, so it is 'free' to add it here, bandwidth-wise. Pretty sure this is only my second imprint pair. Pretty.

Australia wasn't the only one to add imprints during George V's reign. Kishangarh did it too,

Does anyone know of any George V stamp study groups? I am mostly interested in George V Canadian stamps. The most popular Canadian George V stamps appear to be the Admiral Issue. There is also the Scroll Issue, the Arch/Leaf Issue, the Medallion Issue, the Jubilee Issue and the Pictorial Issue.
