Note of the classification of the 1924 issue :

General and specialised collectors will be aware that there are marked shades of this issue outside the scope of the general SG listing. The classification on the table below is based on my own observations, where I have accumulated a large number of these and attempted to group into shade bands. Emphasis must be made that these are shade bands, one can go on and on splitting groups, but this could well be influenced by inking intensities, fading, etc.

The colours quoted are taken from the SG colour key, and are the closest match to these specific shades. Variance will be encountered.

The term 'fuzzy frame' is my terminology for an easily seen variance. Where indicated, the frame, specially around 'POSTAGE and REVENUE', is in comparison to others unclear and 'fuzzy', the lines of shading not so easily seen. In appearance, it could be said that the frames are rubbed, similar to chalk surfaced stamps.

The shades indicated as 1st printing match those on a cover postmarked on the first day of issue.

Note: until recently it was thought only one sheet showing this variety existed, resulting in 12 such pairs possible. However, a second marginal example recently surfaced and so this must be increased to 24 pairs. Of those, only 12 have been recorded, including one used on envelope. Of those 12, only one other off the right margin is known, and thus proving the variety occurred between positions 18-19. This corner strip is by far the most important and desirable of the remaining pieces
