1940-42 Michael I air fund
Plate flaw Mi 674, 6+1 Lei damaged or missing bottom frame line. This flaw is found on the first four stamps in the 10th horizontal row, i.e. sheet position 91 - 94. I believe that this is a increasing damage of the plate or cylinder because the stamps you illustrate show the damage to a larger extent than the stamps / sheets of mine. On my sheets there is on position 94 a colourd spot in front of the kings head. Can you confirm this dot to be constant ?
Unfortunately I cannot provide any scans at
the moment, Windows 2000 refuses to cooperate with my scanner.
