Australian Commonwealth King George V Heads C of A watermark, 3d. Ultramarine Die II WATERMARK INVERTED, fine used. A great rarity, the example sold at the Chartwell auction was only the 3rd recorded example and had an indeterminate postmark and short perfs, this new find being the 4th recorded example, full perfs, part 'LATE' CDS to right of profile, centred W, design clear of perfs. April 2019 RPSL photo-certificate states 'used - is genuine. Creased across bottom left'. Creasing does not affect appearance and would probably press out should any owner have the courage to do so! (Brusdon White 109a). The Chartwell example realised close to GBP£5,000 including premium. Cat £13000 (image available) (Start Price = £4,000.00)
