ZULULAND 1894 SG29(a) Used

Stock Code: P190009104

1894-96 £5 purple and black/red, showing the remarkable ERROR "BLACK (ZULULAND and £5) DOUBLY PRINTED" (the so-called "Thick duty plate"), very fine used with rich colour and large part ESHOWE postal cds, dated "MR 15 96". A great rarity, being one of very few postally cancelled examples surviving from the one pane of 60 that existed, most of which will have been used for fiscal purposes. With clear PF cert (1988) as Scott 24, not mentioning the error, and BPA cert (2020). [The authenticity of examples with the "Thick duty plate" was recently called into question in articles by Clive Sergay & Peter Whitmore (see FFE 17, 2014, pp. 113-123, this stamp illustrated and discussed pp. 115 and 117), but the controversy has been resolved in an article by Philip Kinns (GSM Sept 2019). The error will now be listed as SG 29a in Part I 2020.]
