Hi all,

I found what I assume to be a #69. Should be perf 12. However left and bottom edges are imperf and top and right edges show minimal perforations. Common sense tells me someone might have trimmed it, but the margins remain quite wide.

Any ideas on whether this might be an error or a fake, majestic discovery, or a more simple explanation?

Many thanks.

Might be a straddle margin copy, and the left side is a natural straight edge.

And add it is a damaged straddle margin copy with perforations on the top bottom and right side clipped. Bottom my not be clipped if the lower row is know unperforated or with wide (read low) line of bottom perfs. <<< Last sentence added as an observation and is not based in the knowledge by me that such exist.

It would be interesting to find a full sheet to verify right edge and bottom edge - could be the right edge is imperforate and bottom edge was trimmed also.
