Tasmanian Devils 01: 1/2 Lake Marion errors d

In today's post, I present the second grid of 25 fields from the Laka Marion stamp of Tasmania.
Again, the 1.xx refers to the first plate, 2.xx refers to the second plate.
Grid II - fields A5 to E9
Because of the multiple flaws in the fields where we see (TASM)ANIA, these flaws will be discussed in a next post.
First a closer look at row A, where we find flaws in column 5 and 9:
top : flaw 2.22 and 2.06 - middle : flaw 1.60 - under : flaw 1.54
In the second frame, a white spot appears between the M and the A of Tasmania (2.22).
A bit further, a break in the top line, above the first leg of the N, indicates flaw 2.06.
In the right corner, the top line starts to be thinner on two places (position 60 and 54 on plate 1),
the longer the plate was used, the more clear the lack of ink is visible.
By the end of the usage of the plate, the top line is even completele gone.

Flaws 2.38 and 2.46 (only plate 2) exist in a white spot in the lower and the higher part of the mountain. (field E5 and D6).
3 fields in column 7 ask for our attention too.
Just above the upper ornament, a white spot refers to flaw 2.13 .
Left of the right ornament a white spot in the sky for flaw 2.45, and lower, right of the 1 in the value frame, another white spot indicates flaw 1.27

There are also 3 fields in row 9 that are worth having a closer look too.
The green triangle in the right ornament show white spots in stamp 31 of the first plate.
At the same hight, but now underneath the top white ornament in the right corner, position 42 of plate 2 has also a white spot.
Finally, in the "d" of the right value frame, stamp 2.18 has a small spot in the green middle.

For flaws within the text frame 'TASMANIA', I refer to my next post.
