[15] King's eyebrow line, lovely fresh colours, large part original gum, fine. Gibbs Certificate (2013) states "A rare and interesting stamp which in my view should have a separate listing. The frame has far less blue than the normal 155a group and resembles carmine-red. The headplate ink is a brownish black, deeper than sepia, and bears no resemblance to the normal heads of the 155a group". Photo
