Just be aware Brian that sometimes the perf gap can be WIDER than normal as well as closer, OK.
Keep a good look out for the 8d as VFU. (cat NZ$35)

| Morgan One of the best investments for doing this kind of study/research is a digital microscope. Have a look around Stampboards (use the search facility) and you will soon find a couple of sources for them. They certainly make life very much easier when looking for flaws, re-entries, etc. Cheers Roly |

The right hand stamp is mint with large frame break on top. Sweet, thank you :) Nice clean copies as well. Cheers Roly |
