SOUTH AFRICA 1930 SGO13cw, var Official

Stock Code: P212002808

Official. 1930-47 "Set 6" (= 1931 issue) 1d "grey-black and carmine-rose", roto printing, wmk inverted, SG type O2 opt with 12.5mm space, left marginal block of eight from R7-8/1-4, showing the famous "CASLON" variety on R8/3, fresh unmounted o.g. (one normal with trace of hingeing). Caused by the inversion of a spacer (or "slug") to the left of "OFFICIAL", and resulting in a mirror print of the manufacturer's name in small letters (clear under magnification). The position confirmed by stamp variety V7 ("Broken middle yard-arm") on R7/1. Separation between the right vertical pair, still a very fine example of this fascinating item, seldom available in this condition and positional form. Ex Matheson. [Union Handbook O21, V8 var]
