New Zealand: Chalon Re Entries

Hi Dave
Freaky, I have a similar copy ( maybe same shade too )
Grant

Hi all

TOO good to be true.
I posted my Re-entry Row 18 No 6 above. Now I have Row 18 No 5. Put them together and at a quick glance they look like a mint/used pair. But alas not perfect !!!
Also showing a couple of my 1d brown pairs with same re-entry.
Grant

BTW

Is that 1st 1d brown pair double perfed at top as well as having the re-entrys?



Dave

Hi again
Dave, I think only a single row of perfs, and maybe even forged or enhanced. They don't look right do they ?
Grant

I bought this cover at a recent Corinphilla auction but just noticed it has the re-entry Row 10 #4 & 5 with extended tramline into margin - Odenweller's book page 210.

Quite happy about that 

I found a few constant 'D' flaws.  According to Odenweller these are found I'm multiple places.  Position 4 in rows 17 through 20, all rows of position 5, and rows 1 - 3 of position 6.  So reasonably common.  The flaw was most likely a filing that got stuck on the roller and so duplicated on the sheet.  I have one from a London Proof as well - quite cool.  SG42 and SG43 mint and used, SG 122, 122a and 131c.  

I would say that the flaw you display is within the 'D' rather than above it. I guess you meant 'towards the top of the D'.

An interesting constant flaw I wasn't aware of previously. Thanks for showing it to us.

I have another stamp project for the weekend now! 


Dave

Lovely detail on those mint 1d's.

It's interesting to look at the changes from early to late printings as the plate wears. Sometimes the evidence from the first entry becomes more prominent and sometimes less evident with wear.

Here is a later example of the R11 No3 re-entry, it's a double re-entry. In Neil's example the two extra left frame lines can be seen but in this example one has disappeared and the evidence in "ALD" of LAND becomes a little more prominent.

Got some more Chalons in recently.

It included the 'D' flaw as shown by neilmac earlier

SG43 with 'D' flaw





Dave

Well, I didn't get to do this little project last weekend as other things arose, however, this weekend is another matter!

I started to look for examples of Neil's 'D Flaw' on the 6d and immediately found one on an SG15 'Richardson' 6d Chestnut shade (a nice shade to get it on!)

Here it is in combination with the other listed SG shades:


SG12 Bistre, SG13 Brown, SG14 Pale Brown & SG15 Chestnut





And on its own :

Here are a couple found on Davies SG41 6d black-brown:

and in a pair:

Grant, can you please repost this figure. Thanks, Mark

From the Hausburg reprints you can see the whole column 5 has the D flaw
