(x) Togo
1916-20 5/- green and red on buff block of four with plate number "8", fresh and fine mint. A very rare shade unlisted in S.G. but recorded on page 109 of Peter Duggan's handbook. S.G. H56a var. Photo

Note: Stamps from Plate 8 were invoiced on September 7th 1920 just before the overprinted stamps became obsolete on September 30th and thus had a very short time on sale with only 48 sheets being printed. This printing is much rarer than the two listed shades of the 1/- value which between them had 364 sheets printed.

Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.
