Not sure if there's anything interesting here or not I don't see anything in the Cat. about it. It looks like something that could be a constant. Maybe and engraving slip?
Hi rogdcam, I added another photo and yes there was a fibre laying on the stamp these were seller photos. So I took one myself Ignore the colour difference.
So Can I assume there should be more out there with the same mark? Is there a sure way of distinguishing an engravers slip from a die that may be damaged during the printing process?
On the third photo down, it also looks fibrous-based to me. It's got a bit of a squiggle like a fiber would have and doesn't look, at least from the photo, as if it is completely straight and uniform. But hard to tell from scans. I'd recommend throwing it under a 50x and you should be able to see that.
