Malta Self Government 5/-
Mirror Image Semaphore Flaw


Notes by Joe (USA) who donated the image

"In issue 52 of the Murray-Paynes Sixth Sense, it was mentioned that there was a mirror image semaphore flaw on the Malta 5/-. I saw this stamp on eBay and could see the flaw in their image. I think it is interesting, and since it is "not listed", others are out there. The good news is that for £3, I won the lot. The bad news is that it was described as mint, but was actually NG. Sure enough, the flaw was there. I have sent an image."
