1921 6d red and blue-green 'Abolition of slavery' (the famous stamp prepared for use but not issued for political reasons) IMPERFORATE PLATE PROOF with good to large margins, in issued colours on ungummed wmk MCA paper. Ironed creases but very fine appearance and certainly the best of the three examples which we have been able to trace. An important and highly desirable proof, just as rare as the few surviving perforated examples without 'SPECIMEN' (see catalogue footnote after SG 89). Ex De La Rue archives (RL Bermuda Dec 76, lot 654 = RL Bermuda Feb 79, lot 590).
