CEYLON 1892 Revenue Stamp Duty: "50 cents" on 1r lilac local surcharges

Stock Code: P223007884

Stamp Duty: 1892 "50 cents" on 1r lilac, two examples, one of each type in the composite setting (the type in 'fancy' letters described by Crofton & Jones as 'considerably rarer'.) Each fine used and cancelled with closed punch, manuscript date, initials and 'C.F.D.' hs in violet. An elusive local surcharge which seems to have had a very low survival rate, the two types seldom offered as a pair.
