1/- orange SG 12, margins just clear to large except where shaved at upper-right, from the right of the sheet with vertical watermark line at right, rich colour, unused, Cat £8000. Another very rare stamp, of which only five unused examples have been recorded, of which this is surely one of the finest. NB: the 1/- red-orange is unrecorded unused. Ex Ernest Collins (Plumridge, 1928). RPSofV Certificate (2002). [Far superior to the example - a little cut-into at right & a bit aged, graded "C" - that sold for $5750 at our auction of 23/9/2011]
