SG 103 pl 10, current number 407, 1873

Pane showing the misplaced current number 407 below stamp TJ
(this is very unusual, I would expect it to be below stamp TK
See Beaumont and Easton page 328)

See Beaumont and Easton page 328 on why the Current Number should be below stamp TK not TJ. Also see the mirror image here showing the Current Number above stamp AB we should therefore expect the other current number on the plate to be below TK not TJ. For an example of the Current Number in the correct position, i.e. under stamp TK see the 1s green plate 5 here.

What would be very interesting is if someone has the other current number 407 on the sheet to see whether it is above stamp AB or AC? (email: Ross Taylor)
