  • LL spandrel is slightly weaker than normal to the left of leaf 2.

  • Bottom line of the LNB is thick from the break in the LL corner to the left edge of the 2.

  • Left frame is solid to the left od the LNB.

  • Break in the LL corner of the LNB. The vertical and bottom lines both stop short of the corner.

  • The vertical line of the LNB bends outward slightly in the middle, and is thick at the bottom.

  • Small bit of the left frame missing at the bottom.

Guide dot on the right side of the left inner oval at the midpoint.
