Also from the definitive pane from the James bond booklet is a 1st flag as per the 2015 Star Wars issue SG3786 but the Queen's head is a very dark grey, so I have listed this with the number SG3786a. From the same pane is a 2nd class Scotland regional stamp as S159 but again like the flag it has a very dark Queen's head so I have listed this separately as S159a.
All the James Bond issues are now listed and comprise of a set of 6 stamps and a miniature sheet with and without barcode. There are 2 booklets, a Prestige Booklet DY33 and a Commemorative booklet PM72.

But these unlike the original issue have an overprint to the backing paper so I have listed these in addition to those without the overprint.
