. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Whilst the First Issue with very wide margins is easily distinguished, we do not think that it is always straightforward to attribute settings on single stamps of the 2nd and 3rd settings. We attempted to do so for the 1d value, due to the quantity of them, but we have chosen to leave the scans to speak for themselves for the other values.
