Nigeria Revenue 1916 DLR Keyplate wmk MCA 3d green and orange, used

Stock Code: P256000154

1916 DLR Keyplate wmk MCA 3d green and orange, cancelled with green canyon and "D.C.ITU" (District Commissioner, Itu) perfin cancellation. Thinned and with extensive surface rubbing, of little importance as this ranks amongst the rarest keyplates of the British Empire, with just three known examples (all of which are in comparable condition), of which this is the sole example to appear on the open market. No examples at all were recorded until earlier this year, and it was only printer's records and the De La Rue archive which revealed that this stamp had ever existed. A wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the rarest revenue stamps of the British Empire and a remarkable discovery over a century after issue.
