Calder's notes

There is a very faint short entry on the North side of the North East spandrel; a faint scratch slightly North East and South West runs almost North and South through the centre of the body of the South West "7"; moving position or travelling dot is a shade West of centre of the East oval ornament; main position dot is centre and full.

Kershaw's notes

The short transfer in the TR spandrel is weak.

Morel's notes

Position dots in right and left oval and a weak transfer on right top background. Oblique scratch in left "7". There is also a small line in the white area east of the right oval.

Stamps from printing orders 1 to 5A were perf. 11.75, stamps from printing orders 5B to 7 were perf. 12 x 11.75 and those from printing orders 8 to 12 were perf. 12.
