BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA / NYASALAND
BCA overprints to 1896 Arms
 -  BRITISH CENTRAL AFRICA / NYASALAND  -  1895 'Arms' issue without watermark, SG 21-31
NY1024
£25 black and blue-green. Unusually well centred, hinge remnant, fine mint. BPA certificate (2022) states 'traces original gum, pressed thin spot at top, is genuine'. This a somewhat overly harsh opinion. SG 31

Note: of the few surviving examples of this rare stamp, many are noticeably off-centre. In addition, a significant number also appear to have been separated with scissors resulting in clipped and trimmed perforations.
