Can any member provide information regarding Woodstocks listing of British Empire and Commonwealth Games value 1/3d from Cyl. 3 No Stop - R2/6, a background weakness - I have purchased a block on the off chance and not entirely sure if it shows the flaw or is from the other Cyl.

Mike, I seem to have lost my Woodstock but Ian Harvey has one; he helped me directly a few days ago on the Emerald Lawn version of the 8d Geographical Congress stamp.

Many thanks

I guess its not the listed variety - maybe an open pore print, dry or poor quality, it does have the darken look of retouch but its not listed, I do have plenty of other examples of retouch without listing and non listed retouches.
Have a look - a second opinion would be good. Thanks - Mike
