ZANZIBAR 1895 SG13Dvar Used
Stock Code: P201014519
1895-96 6a pale brown, type 1 opt on India with small second "z", showing the prominent variety "Wide space between z and i", and also "an" only partly printed, used with part "25 JU 96" cds. The "zi spaced" variety had first appeared on R1/6 in opt setting 2 (6x10 format) and then moved to R1/8 for the 6a, after the insertion of two columns at left in the sub-setting for this value only (8x10 format), in June 1896. [The two right columns (including this position) were then removed, leading to opt setting 3 in July 1896.] A rare and most interesting variety (with wmk line at top confirming the top row position), and a desirable dated example.
