1976 8c surcharge, showing SURCHARGE DOUBLE, ONCE ALBINO. Complete strip of ten horizontally across the sheet, stamp at right with albino impression shifted slightly to the left and then progressively shifting downward towards the left with the left three stamps all having '8c' now at the top. Rare in this format. Superb unmounted. SG 526a
Note: three sheets with this variety were discovered in the stock of the Zimbabwe Stamp Company in 1986. One sheet had the albino impression slightly shifted left in a uniform way. Items 985-987 come from this sheet. The other two sheets had the impression more or less correctly aligned at the right and then progressively shifting down and slightly left across to the left of the sheets where the '8c' appears in the stamp below. Examples from the left of these two sheets are therefore the most desirable examples of this variety, items 988-991 come from these sheets. |
