Description
1942 1/- black and brown perf 13 x 11¾. Top right corner block of nine with various initials and other marks scratched on the selvedge right of R1/10. (These marks are believed to have been made on the extremities of the plates by inexperienced post-wartime staff, possibly testing a newly-sharpened burin or some such procedure, not necessarily realising that such scratches would show up on the sheet margins.) The initials include ‘CC’ twice, once crossed through. Interesting. SG 145a
