Description
1938-44 Maharaja Rama Varma III, 6p red-brown (litho, Perf 13x13½) opt type O10 in horizontal pair, showing ‘ON C G’ OMITTED (!) lightly used by parts of barred ovals. Rounded corner at lower right and creasing. Still a spectacular and rare item, with the ‘ON C G’ omission most probably caused by an obstruction during the overprinting. Related to SG 69b which bears a total omission, priced at £6500! SG O51var
