Description
1875 Perf 15 1c black, 2c orange, 4c bright blue, 6c ultramarine and 24c yellow-green, five values, each with diagonal seriffed "SPECIMEN." opt (Samuel type "BG1", but actually typeset by Waterlow, in RED on 1c), part to large part o.g. (except 2c without gum). Couple of trivial blemishes mentioned for accuracy (4c tiny corner crease), nevertheless a magnificent group of great rarity, highly attractive with this neat crisp opt, and lovely fresh colours.
