Info wanted on "vertical line in margin" on 1946 Victory issue
Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2014 10:49 pm
A question from Dr John Gledhill of the GB Overprints Society -- can anyone help?
Scans would of course be especially handy, but any info would be useful.Can you point this puzzle please to some member of GBPS who knows about the GB KG6 “Victory” issue.
There is an ambiguous note in the SG specialised catalogue that cylinder 4 of the Victory issue is known with a vertical line in the margin below 20/1 (early printings) or without it (later ones); unfortunately it is not clear whether this refers to the dot or nodot cylinder, nor in fact whether it refers to the 2½d or 3d value.
As I would like to know which it is to complete a list of known flaws on “Tangier” overprints, any help would be extremely useful. I’ve only got scans of the “Tangier” overprints, not the unoverprinted issue, and so far no sign of a “vertical line”.
