The best description of the plate flaws of the Bermuda King George V stamps is in the Chapter 5 of M. Glazer "The King George V High-Value Stamps of Bermuda, 1917-1938" book. All the flaws are numbered and described according the book. I highly recommend the book for all the collectors of the Bermuda Key plates stamps.
