PAPUA 1939 (SPECIMEN) SG163/8
Stock code:
P12305207
SG number:
163/8
Categories:
Commonwealth Stamps
Condition:
SPECIMEN
Issue Year:
1939
Final Year of Issue:
1941
1939-41 'Air' set of 6 to 1s 6d, in vertical strips of 3 as distributed from the UPU in Bern, affixed to two pieces from the Mauritania post office archive and tied by strikes of the distinctive three-line 'SPECIMEN/COLLECTION/MAURITANIE' receiving H/S in magenta (applied during an audit of the collection in 1951). Couple of wrinkles but unique and highly attractive. Especially important as with the exception of the 1932 Lakatoi 9d and 1s 3d (SG 127s/8s) all Papuan stamps were distributed in normal unused condition, and 'SPECIMEN' examples can therefore only be recognised by receiving handstamps, where applied.
