AUSTRALIA
King George V Heads
1918-23 Single Watermark
1d. violet, a lower left (with part Harrison imprint) and a lower right corner blocks of four from the same sheet, both with the lower row showing perforation misplaced 2½-3mm. to left, the latter block with one in the lower row with small stain due to inclusion, otherwise fine mint. S.G. 57; BW 76. Photo

Note: This misplaced perforation variety was probably caused by the sheet being left imperforate at base. The fault was detected and the bottom row was then perforated but the sheet was replaced in the machine very much off centre. It is of interest that the variety "imperforate on three sides" is known in this issue probably originating from the same batch as tis item.
