Major Misplaced Entry
(The ‘Trimble’ Variety)
Plate Position 3R79
This incredible variety was missed by the Honourable George C. Marler when working on his book on the Edwards. It shows details of the lower left corner, including the ‘5,’ in the upper left corner and the crown. I confirmed that this misplaced entry occurred on the original plate, as it is found on the Proof sheet in the Archives in Ottawa. Interestingly, it is found directly above THE Major Re-entry.

The Major Re-entry
Plate Position 3R89
This magnificent re-entry is actually a fresh entry, as it appears on the proof sheet in Ottawa. The entire design is doubled, though particularly strong in the LR.

Misplaced Entry
Plate Position 4L27
This dramatic re-entry shows a full 0.75mm shift.The most prominent feature is the doubling of the upper frameline and spandrel line above the design in the top margin, but there is also sigificant doubling visible in much of CANADA POSTAGE.
It is a Marler Type 4.

The "Portcullis" Retouch (Upper) & Major Re-entry
Plate Position 4L28
The “Portcullis” gets its name from the heavy retouching of the lines between ‘A’ & ‘P’ which makes it resemble the heavy iron gates of medieval times. This happened twice on the 5c Edward, here in the upper portion of the oval band, and on the stamp below in the lower portion of the oval band. Both retouches are accompanied by strong re-entries.
Note that this stamp occurred right beside the misplaced entry seen above.

The "Portcullis" Retouch (Lower) & Re-entry
Plate Position 3L63
Here we have retouching in the oval band similar to the stamp shown above, but here it is in the lower part of the oval between the ‘E’ and ‘C.’ There is also a significant counter-clockwise twist of the design, noticeable mainly in both of the 5's, below the bottom left corner and the outer lower right corner.

The following re-entries and retouches are mainly listed in order of their plate and position number, rather than me trying to arrange them subjectively. As I photograph more, this listing will grow, and the plate position order will likely change.

Re-entry
Plate Position 2R48
This is one of only two plate varieties that Marler lists on Plate 2. There are two parallel vertical lines just inside left centre and a short line outside the frame opposite the LL frame junction line.

A Major Re-entry
Plate Position 3L100
The design of this stamp is completely doubled, including: the top of the frame; all of the lettering; the portrait oval and oval band; both 5’s; and the lower right frame. The re-entry is so extensive that even the hair, sideburn and ear are doubled.
