Description
1944 printings of the 2s6d, 5s, 10s and £1 on philatelic ‘Harry Allen’ neat registered covers. The 2s6d is marginal, the envelope with a couple of small foxed spots; the 10s also has a hint of foxing on the top edge of the envelope, but the stamp is a corner example, the selvedge showing the greyish paper to advantage. Rare. SG 160 var, 161c, 162b and 163 var
Footnote
None of these 1944 printings were ever despatched to the colony. The only used examples available are from stamps sent out by collectors or dealers for postmarking and return
