Description
1930-4 1d Type I ‘B’ Controls from Issue 1 mint. Two matched blocks, one of 20 and the other of 22 pairs, with ‘B’ opposite Afrikaans at R16/12 with Issue 1 characteristics, large part o.g., largely fine with a couple of reinforcements and marks on reverse. The block of 22 pairs shows a ‘jump’ of the horizontal perforations between rows 10-11, with the correction occurring in the selvedge below the bottom row (folded under), meaning that the R10 stamps at top are notably taller and all the stamps between rows 11-20 are perforated through the country names. A remarkable matched pair. SG 43
