Very faint short entry in the South West corner of the stamp; small dash opposite the North West "g" as in Position No. 7; main position dot is oval North East and North West slightly South of centre nearly full East - occasionally full.

There is a very faint short entry in the SW corner. Travelling dot is in the RH hatch work. There is an oblique flaw inside the TL frame adjacent to the "8"

The Right oval dot is full, and slightly below the horizontal guideline. The travelling dot is the closest to the white oval frame. A diagonal dash is present in the top left frame, west of the "8".Position dot right of face, weak transfer lower left frame.
