That's all of my constant flaws for now. I'll now post some of the more likely constant candidates from the 'one-offs' that I have seen, in the hope that Tasnaki or anyone alse might confirm them as constant. These stamps will be given the prefix Q for Question. Q1. Vertical white flaw right of right star (Watermark 68)  |

I can confirm this as a constant flaw, it only appears in later printings.  Tasnaki |

Thanks Tasnaki. That one now gets upgraded from Q status to constant flaw 42 on this list. Also a correction, the stamp is on watermark 65 paper. 42. Vertical white flaw at right end of central shield bar (Watermark 65)  |

Both can be classified as constant. Q2 WM40 is still a UCV  Q3 can be plated as 4A-57  Tasnaki |

Not a flaw I have seen. Looking at the stamp above it may be 5D-45, check the scan below, the right '1' looks to have the spur. No constant flaws have yet been identified for 5D-51.  Please send me a copy of your scan for the records and a closer look. Tasnaki |

There also seems to be a spur on W of WALES on that upper stamp. |

Have had a closer look, 5D-45 & 51 are correct.
The flaw on the W is interesting. It is not on any of my copies but I do have similar on a plate 6 position (other flaws on it and the one below do not match)!
I will keep the shield star flaw on file, it may well be a late print flaw, just need another copy to confirm.
I now know how to get copies of your scans! Thank you.
Tasnaki. |

Will allocate that as a constant flaw on 5D-51 pending the discovery of another copy: 45. Large white flaw left of lion (Watermark 68)  |
