Some years ago I bought at. auction a small lot of Barbados which included a block of four of S.G.3, a single of S.G.5 and a strip of three of S.G. l0, all showing a marked colour flaw on the lowest sail of the ship. The note with the lot was 'Colour flaw on sail occurs on the fourth stamp from the left in the bottom row of Plate 1, it does not occur on Plate 11'. The block of four and the strip are certainly from the bottom row each showing one stamp with flaw. Since then I have seen no other copies nor have I heard of it. I should be very interested to hear of other specimens which any members may have.
