Tasmanian Devils 01: 1/2 Lake Marion errors h

In today's post, I bring the last quadrant of the 1/2 Lake Marion stamp of Tasmania.
Again here we find numerous flaws, so let's have a closer look.

Similar to my previous posts, I have omitted fields I5, I6, J5 andJ6, as text field on it's own is good for a hugh number of possible flaws.

In row F, we have the value field (F8), where we can discover 3 possible flaws. Two in plate 1 and one in plate 2:
flaws 1.26          -          2.25          -          1.32
The first flaw can be found on stamp 1.26, where there is a white spot in front of the 2 of the value.
Stamp 1.26 has also flaws in quadrant I and III !On the other side of the '2', below de 'd', one of the green lines does not reach the frame (2.25).
Similar is stamp 1.32 has a green line that is broken, before it reaches the frame border. This white spot is lower than position 2.25.

The G-row has several possible flaws.
flaws 1.52          -          1.46          -          1.55
The first can be found in the water (G6) the lines in the water are broken in four places (flaw 1.52).
In the next field, (G7) there is a white spot in the tree (1.46) and in the water part right of that same tree, another white spot indicates position 1.55.

Moving further to the right, there is a white spot within the green part of the ornament (1.15), there is a white spot towards the outer frame (1.25).
flaw 1.15          -          1.25
A bit lower right of the bottom part of the triangular ornament, a white spot within the design (2.14) and a white spot in the border frame (1.53) - field H9
flaw 2.14          -          1.53
Moving to the horizontal triangular frame, (field I7 and I8).
A large white spot indicates flaw 2.60 - for this position, see also below.
Stamp 1.25 has a small spot attached to the triangular ornament on the left side.
On the right side, a green spot between the triangular ornament and the white decoration (1.07) and finally below the white ornament (1.25)
top : flaw 2.60  -  1.25         below : flaw 1.28  -    1.07
Almost identical to flaw 1.25, is flaw 1.59 (smaller white spot):
flaw 1.59
In field J5/J6 the the thick green line below the text frame, shows multiple white small spots, in combination with the ones I presented in quadrant III (flaw 1.17).
flaws in position 1.17
The last part is the white ornament in the right bottom corner (right side).
Stamp 2.18 starts off with few white spots on the outer side of the ornament, towards the frame border.  The longer the plate was used, the more pronounced the flaws are.
flaw 2.18
I left two fields out of this overview, as they will be presented in my next post.

to be continued ...
