FWIW, when a stamp is damaged as this, a better description than
"Check picture for item" would prevent misunderstanding and poor
feedback.

Is the diagonal 'crease' through the SE square really a rip and
repaste? Is the 'crease' really a tear from "NN" up (almost?) to the
chignon? With a hing mostly over the latter ... who can guess!
