IRAQ BRIT OCC 1918 SG4var Mint 1½a on 5pa variety IRAO for IRAQ

Stock Code: P190002972

1918-21 1½a on 5pa dull purple, no wmk, left marginal showing the striking variety "IRAO" for "IRAQ", fresh unmounted o.g. Very scarce thus, with the variety certainly constant (? once per sheet) over at least part of the printing, and a similar example recorded in the Royal Philatelic Collection. [N.B. The surcharges on this issue were applied by lithography, based on hand-drawn (?) originals, so the question of "broken type" does not arise. The tail of the "Q" was accidentally rubbed off the printing stone.]
