Charles Nissen, 1929 (£7.10.0)


These stamps were perforated 14 on the Napier machine and are recognisable as the only alphabet I stamps with this gauge. Known from plates 74 and 113. Although this was classed as a trial, there is little or no evidence to support this. When listed, this stamp had a high catalogue value
