7¢ Bistre 3UL99

Doubling in the right inner oval below the 'E' and slight doubling in the 'C' of Canada.

Research notes:

A probable notch with a very short horizontal well below the 'E' and touching the right border. The horizontal is adjacent to the right border.

Leo's Notes

Minor re-entry (not in Marler)

  • a) Doubling in the right inner oval from below the right side of the G to the middle of the E.
  • b) Faint doubling in the left inner oval below the left side of the C.
  • c) Slight doubling in the upper end and lower right parts of the C.
  • Similar to 3UR9/5 but the latter has no doubling on the left side and the doubling in the right inner oval is much longer.
Re-entry in Zone 16
Plate Position: 3UL99
Not listed in Marler
Format ~ Sheet
Notch Type: RBR

On page 374, Marler states: "In 19 Subjects of Plates 1 and 2 there is in the white band around the portrait oval, either below E or at right center, either a single line or a group of lines. Whether this is a consequence of a re-entry or not, the author cannot say, but he considers them not to be of sufficient importance to warrant describing them, particularly as many of them are much the same in their general appearance."

In an article to be published in a future issue of "The Admiral's Log", Leopold Beaudet and I suggest that these "Notch" varieties are actually quite interesting. We have found over 40 different instances and many plate positions have been determined using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada.

Full IP addresses are not stored permanently by Statser; they are processed briefly on the server to create a pseudonymous visitor key, apply technical exclusions, and optionally resolve approximate GeoIP information. If GeoIP is enabled, the IP address is checked locally against a MaxMind GeoLite2 database to determine the approximate country or city. The visitor IP address is not sent to MaxMind.
