Default United Nations 38

Hi,

I have two sheets United Nations 38. According to the Scott catalog
there are two printings. I have two of these sheets, but i am having a
difficulty keeping them apart. Can someone assist please. If I have to
believe the sellers, I should have one of each printing.

According to the Scott catalog, I should look at the 8c stamp and locate
a broken line of background shading _below_ the left leg of the 'n' of
'Unies'. To be honest I don't see a difference.


Me neither. Both have a break in the line under and to the right that
would just miss the leg if it were not broken. The bottom of the leg
itself is slightly tilted in the right image and has a bar in the leg
image. But without an actual illustration of the intended difference, it
is hard to be sure.

I only see a difference
to the _left_ of the left leg of the 'n' of 'Unies'.

I have uploaded an image to my server. One of these should be the first
printing, the other one should be the second printing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
