1966 QEII ½d Birds definitive, wmk. Crown CA sideways. Lower two rows of the sheet, showing 'THOMAS DE LA RUE & COMPANY' imprint and plates '1 2' in margin. Further the substituted cliche (row 12/4) and lower right stamp apparently without the 'weak entry' (row 12/5). The plate crack that affected the lower margin below stamp 12/2 is now no longer evident. Superb unmounted. SG 227 and var. (Heijtz 123c, v3)
Note: this is apparently the 1968 'j' printing, 84 sheets delivered. The shading below 'FA' of 'FALKLAND' is clearly visible |
