Lot 102 (C) Canada #106avs 2c Rose Carmine King George V, 1911-1925 Admiral Issue, A Fine Used Booklet Single, Faked Imperf Single, Very Weakly Retouched Frameline, Design Size 17.5x21.5mm.

A fine used booklet single of the 2c rose carmine King George V from the 1911-1925 Admiral Issue, faked imperf single, very weakly retouched frameline, design size 17.5x21.5mm.

The imperf was faked by cutting down a jumbo margined booklet single on horizontal wove paper. All the documented imperfs of this issue are on sheet stamps, were all, except for some printings of the 10c blue were on the vertical wove paper. So, it seems that this could only have come from a jumbo margined booklet single. Corner crease at UR.
