This repair was first reported by Paul Witham in GBJ Vol 24 No 3 Pg 36.State 1 prints are frequently seen with much wear.
Late prints display a strong patch of wear in the background above Y of PENNY.
In state 2, the patch of wear is gone although some wear along the lower background remains.
Both sidelines are slightly stronger and the lateral networks thinned and restored.
The checkletters are slightly weaker.
The right end of the upper line of the right star is duplicated.
There may also be some duplication in the E of POSTAGE and the left star??
This is the only reported repair to this plate.
I have however seen a strip TG-TK that I believe is in state 1, showing the other stamps with noticeable wear.
It seems unlikely to me that TG would be singled out for re-entry and the other units left as they were.
Accordingly it is possible in my view that other repairs may exist from this plate.
Repaired examples do not appear to be particularly scarce.
