Canada #1165var 38c Multicoloured Parliament Buildings, 1987-1991 Mammal & Architecture Issue, A VFNH Pair Doctor Blade Flaw/Smudge Of Blue On Lower Stamp

A VFNH pair of the 38c multicoloured Parliament Buildings from the 1987-1991 Mammal & Architecture Issue. Doctor blade flaw/smudge of blue on lower stamp. The upper stamp on the pair shows a normal blue sky. The lower stamp shows an uneven printing of the blue, which appears smudged, due to either a doctor blade flaw or dry inking. Either way, these types of errors are unusual on this stamp.
