Canada #1055var 34c Multicoloured Fort Erie, 1985 Forts of Canada Issue, A VFNH Single Red Dash On Grass Variety, Tertiary and Possibly Constant, DF2/DF2 Harrison Paper

A VFNH single of the 34c multicoloured Fort Erie from the 1985 Forts of Canada Issue red dash on grass variety, tertiary and possibly constant, DF2/DF2 Harrison paper. 1985 marks the year in which the Harrison paper becomes primarily dull under UV, whereas in 1984 it was primarily LF (at least on the face). The normal appearance of this paper is DF on the front and usually some variation of DF on the back. Variations that are LF on either the front or back are much less common at this point, and definitely worthy of separate mention.
