Sale number: 5963&nbsp; The second sale in the Academic series features a mix of multiples, varieties and some startling rarities. There are a great many specialist items, of interest to the KG VI and single-country collector alike. The lots in these sales represent over forty years of focussed buying in auctions major and minor, and from dealers large and small, including some well-known items that have not been available to the market for decades . The important range of multiples are usually there for a specific reason; imprint or Plate blocks, multiples from identified printings or with varieties, listed and unlisted, with some great rarities such as the Grenada 2½d Plate block, the existence of which will come as a surprise to many. However, there are also plenty of basic stamps and straightforward multiples, reasonably estimated and reserved, to suit all pockets.&nbsp;<a class="ck-btn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://competent-prize-bbe30fc6a2.media.strapiapp.com/5963_Academic_Collection_Part_2_Prices_Realised_cefdab153c.pdf">Prices Realised</a>

1938 5r black horizontal strip of four, the central pair imperforate between. &nbsp;O.g., hinged on the normal stamps only (the perfs between the left stamp and the variety pair are weak, so the strip needs careful handling). &nbsp;Some faint foxing on reverse and the left (normal) stamp with some short perfs. &nbsp;Excellent appearance and of impeccable provenance, ex Darnton. A classic rarity from the KG VI period, of which only six existed. &nbsp;RPS Certificate (1965). &nbsp;SG 104a, £34000
