| 1945 Victory 3d deep blue and blue. Two left marginal vertical strips of four, one with upper margin showing the major variety OVERPRINT OMITTED (in vertical pair with normal). The variety is due to a downward shift of all the overprints which now appear at the top of the stamps below. The second strip with lower interpanneau margin showing the same shifted overprints with an additional OVERPRINT IN LOWER MARGIN. Gum fractionally yellowed (no rust or tone spots) otherwise superb unmounted mint. A great Bechuanaland rarity of which only six could exist. Clear RPS Certificate (1984) for the upper strip. Spectacular. SG 131a + var. |
