Hong Kong
1891 Jubilee
2c. carmine showing broken "1" in "1841" [7] of 5th or 6th printing and cancelled by Hong Kong code "A" c.d.s. dated 1891 (21 Jan.), the day before the official issued date; there is a tiny paper split in one of the perforations at top. A scarce and desirable item, only a small number of stamps are recorded with this pre-issue cancellation which was applied by favour, all are from the same block. Probably unique combination with the broken character. B.P.A. Certificate (2020). S.G. 51c. Photo
