No Longer Available - ZANZIBAR 1896 SG29k Mint

Stock Code: P189016413

1896 (15 Nov) "2½" on 1a6p sepia, type 6 surcharge, showing variety "Roman I in ½", large part o.g. One slightly shortish perf and an insignificant bend mentioned for accuracy, still fine and very rare, with few examples recorded and only 16 panes surcharged. Clear Holcombe cert (1991). [The overprint has small second "z", but is not readily plateable. The fact that the Royal Collection includes two examples of the "Inverted 1" respectively in a block and strip of 3 se-tenant with SG 31 indicates that the surcharge setting used for SG 29/31 was not identical to that used for SG 26/8.]
