Double Transfer - a plate variety in which a portion of the design is doubled, that is, it appears twice.
Double transfer: this term is used for a stamp printed from a design which in error was impressed, either wholly or partially, twice by the master die in preparing the plate; can be identified by its "out of focus" appearance.
The write-up must be confined to terse notes: a date of issue, an arrow pointing to a particular spot on the stamp with perhaps the briefest notation of what the arrow indicates - for instance, "Double transfer" - there is no need to say more.
