Lot: 23

1910-13 Double Head Issue
Issued Stamps
Perforated 14
Halfpenny
Plate II, RJL 5, Dull blue-green group, Imperforate
[37-38] pair with good to large margins and virtually full original gum; tiny mark on reverse, otherwise in exceptionally fine condition for this variety. B.P.A. Certificate (2007). S.G. 119a, £15,000. Photo

Note: This and the block offered above overlap on position 37, confirming that two sheets of this variety must have existed rather than the single sheet that was originally thought to have done so. From the state of the flaws on position 37 it is clear that they come from different parts of the print run, the block from an earlier part and the pair from the later part
