ZANZIBAR 1895 SG22H/l Used 2½ on 1a6p overprint on India variety Inverted q for b and Inverted 1 in ½

Stock Code: P245000070

1895 (30 Nov) "2½" on 1a6p sepia, type 1 opt on India, with type 2 surcharge in red, horizontal pair from opt setting 1 (= Hall "D"), R5/6-7, each with "Small second z and inverted q for b", the right stamp clearly showing variety "Inverted 1 in ½", used with light strikes of "2 JA 96" cds and horizontal m/s line. A rare variety, especially in pair with normal, as most examples will have been used singly for the standard UPU rate, and the total printing of this provisional seems unlikely to have exceeded 20 panes of 120, with the 12x5 surcharge setting applied twice to each pane. Ex Griffith-Jones (Spink 24 Oct 2018, lot 153), with BPA cert (2018). (cat £960+).
