Flaws On Hong Kong KGVI 1938-52 Issues

Requesting assistance from the experts on these issues.

The Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth catalogue (Part One) lists prices for a few flaws, e.g. "short right leg to R" (on the one dollar stamp) but not the one below.

Is there a specialist catalogue that provides prices for other flaws on these issues?

If so, if someone could indicate a catalogue or market value, that would be much appreciated:

There are a number of flaws on many of the King George VI era stamps. Some are constant and some are temporary. The ones listed in the Stanley Gibbons catalogue have been verified as a constant flaw which means that it occurs on more than one identified stamp and at a specific place on the sheet (Row 3/ Column 1 for example).

That being said, not every constant flaw is listed by the catalog. Usually it depends on the flaw having an interesting characteristic and sometimes even a good name (like the Ascension Torpedo flaw).
The only listing I have seen for Hong Kong is a monograph "A study of the Hong Kong Definitive Adhesives of King George VI" by Nick Halewood and David Antscherl. This was published by the Hong Kong Study Circle in 1992. It does list a number of constant flaws.

If you are interested in King George VI flaws, I have a number of them listed on my web site. Currently there are over 200 flaws listed with enlarged images showing how to identify them. Use this link if you want to see it.

Thanks KGVIstamps - I hope a stamp community member will be able to look up the flaw if they have a copy of "A study of the Hong Kong Definitive Adhesives of King George VI" - it would be good to know the pane and position if documented.

It doesn't seem like much of a market for the Hong Kong KGVI flaws has been established beyond those listed in SG, in stark contrast to the strong market for Australian plate varieties. The ACSC KGVI catalogue provides excellent information and pricing on those.

Thanks also for the the link to your useful database.

You are right about the market effect. Until a flaw gets listed in Gibbons, it is not very valuable. That is bad news if you are trying to sell your flaw collection, but good news if you are acquiring them.
