It's SG 194. (SG 63 is the 1844 4d Red.)
A search on ebay shows plenty of very sound looking examples going for about £7.50. |

There were 2 printings of this stamp on KP5D paper, one in 1973 & one in 1975.
There was also a printing on KP6T in 1976. |

MODERATOR COMMENT.
I have taken the liberty of adding "French to English" to your topic title. This may increase the chances of attracting someone to the thread who can help. 
Thread titles are like bait - better bait = more chance of a catch. |

I may have missed it, but can't find anything that says what currency is used for the catalogue values.
Also, are watermarks illustrated anywhere? |

Interesting flaw. It's not listed in the ACSC, but there are masses of unlisted flaws on this issue.
If it's constant, something as obvious as that merits a listing, so maybe it's transient? |

They received an irate letter saying "Why should I be charged double for living in New Hampshire?"
