I know it's ink and anything can happen
the "bend" seems intentional IMO
if you take a straight line and double it how often does it bend?
But I guess it is within possible

This is a blow up from my link.

On firefox, by clicking the picture it increases in size. Then just keep hitting Ctrl & the plus sign together to blow it up further.

Bump*
It's been a while since I posted this, and I've learn some useful things since.
My interests changed and well I haven't really looked at very many GB stamps.
With Halloween coming up I thought I'd take another look at her, I have to agree 100% on plate 18, the check letters match perfectly!
Thanks for the help, appreciate it!

I'll bump this and retract my comments from the post above,
And stick to my original guess plate 8/1B.
Thought I could let it go, but I guess not…..
Still appreciate the help that was given!

Got somebody to actually look at this!!!!
Gonna be a slow road, apparently I need multiple opinions before a expert will look at it.
But ball is rolling, now I got better explanation and images.
Can't wait to see where this goes….even if I'm wrong.

You may think of me in your own way, that's your opinion, I don't need to know it.
Perhaps it's thought I'm "confirmation bias" or what have you, I'm really not, I have no problems being wrong, I learn from it :)
The problem I'm having just saying it's p18 and dropping it, is due to the issue with the direction of the A, I feel it's very questionable and unreliable as a possible "point" toward the ID, pretty simple.
Having being unable to use the check letter properly, I looked for other "points or markers" using both 18 and 1b examples (sourced on the net, so reliably is questionable)
Why would I question this?….it's already a scarcer plate (value..no clue between p18 and 1b, I don't care) but a solid item for me to own
It's so Simple…I like to get to the bottom of things best I can, and I'm left with doubt right now with the direction of the A, the two plates are so close. I can't find anything offered as a specific "flaw,marker or point" to look for on p18, but I did for 1b so I used them….not "confirmation bias" but, where I'm at with what I have.
I can show the issue I'm seeing with the A but I'm not sure how to get it to post it here,
Re-entry, inking issue, what ever it makes it questionable in my eyes.
