Gutters,

Couple of things:

Take a look at 1R60 - should be 2nd state a-f

Also, A10 should be 1L40. See my scan appended below which also has part of 1L39 to confirm 1L40

Nothing today
Just putting it in order

A quick query...
does the 5d Die 2 bible make any mention of the broken shade lines below the 'roo in 3R2? They seem to be constant, and are a more conspicuous variety than the broken 4th shade line above left wattles.

Clemo yes the bible states (b) Shading below kangaroo: Recurrent flaw

Thank you, GUTTERS...

Here we go - clutching at straws...

Can anyone hazard a guess at the date, and shade of this single-line Die 1?
Thanks

This is 1R18

(a) Shading Below Right value Shield; Break in 3rd line(counting up) 0.5mm from it's right end.

(b) Shading Between Emu's Legs: Abnormalities, sometimes breaks, in 3 lines immediately above rear foot(not always present)

P.S. I'm aware there's a 1R18 already in wiki but this one shows the (b) flaw better.
