I have a question regarding a 6d chestnut 'Roo with narrow crown - 3rd wmk - SG73As I don't yet have the Brusden White - ACSC - catalogs I need to post my question here for anyone that does have those catalogs or knows off hand the answer: I recently purchased a small lot of Aussie 'Roo's and amongst them was this unused example of SG73. On the 'roo's shoulder is a small 'white patch' - a flaw it would appear to me! None of the other dozen or so copies I have of this stamp has this flaw! Question is : is this a listed 'constant' flaw & what can you tell me about it please? Plate position, value etc. ![](https://i.ibb.co/FYS8LGh/Australian-6d-Roo-SG73-white-flaw-on-shoulder.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/YdgzzYP/Australian-6d-Roo-SG73-white-flaw-on-shoulder-highlighted.png) Dave

Hi Dave, I have nothing under 3rd Wmk Chestnut ( The colour of your chestnut...Whoa!) No other identifying marks CV 2013 $15 (BW 2013 Catalogue Kangaroos)
Suggestion : EFO Error Freak or Oddity piece of detritus came between paper and die, then lifted off.
Let's see what others have to offer.
I checked my 14 x 6d Chestnuts and 4 x 6d Blues
Watermark Inverted $35,000 Punctured small O.S. $425 Handstamped in Black or Violet $500 FDC prev recorded is now considered a forgery

Thanks for the quick response rod222 I use the SG Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840 - 1970 2020 edition for Commonwealth stamps Rod. It lists only the basic version and the 'broken leg' variety in there - (and an inverted wmk.) The basic one of 6d chestnut SG73 in there is CV £1.75 whereas the 'broken leg' variety is CV £120 - hence my question on the flaw as it may have some value, but not if it is just a transient flaw as you suggest. Here is a picture of the 'broken leg' variety for interest sakes: Stamp position 3L6 Broken leg on Kangaroo - ACSC 21(3)d
