re: TIGER CAT TYPHOON & NORMAL
Hi Horamakhet
You can have a typhoon variety paired with a normal stamp. The typhoon variety is state 4 of the retouch. What you should see are heavy recut lines running diagonally at the front of the tiger cat.
What you have is either the 1st Master Plate or the 2nd Master Plate. The typhoon recut is from the 2nd Master Plate.
Unfortunately, neither stamp is the typhoon recut.

I gave it to Chris to certify, the certificate can be used to certify that the stamp is indeed a "typhoon" recut. I will be getting it back soon (hopefully).

re: TIGER CAT TYPHOON & NORMAL
Hi Horamakhet
Sorry, it's no again, none of the stamps have the typhoon retouch. The top left stamp shown in the block of 6 is the typhoon retouch, notice the heavier lines on the top right frame and right side frame to the animal (which is actually a spotted-tailed quoll).
The shading of the animal, tree and background has also been affected by the retouch.
