4c. bluish slate, perf. 12½, part original gum with small hinge remainders; exceptionally well centred and exhibiting unusually fresh colour which is enhanced by the white paper.
A delightful and appealing example of this scarce and popular stamp. B.P.A. Certificate (2013) which states "gum disturbed and respread" though this mostly appears to be the effect of the old hinge remnants. S.G. 9f, £12,000.
