Showing
the major variety HORIZONTAL PAIR,
ONE WITHOUT OVERPRINT. SG 31a
This rare error is listed as SG 31a and is unpriced, presumably as it has not been on the market for decades, if at all (we have been unable to trace any appearance on auction). The pair was illustrated in Runner Post 36 (p765) as part of the Rare Stamp Study initiated by David Finlay. The illustration was supplied by Bob Holmes from his reference material though with no details as to its history or whereabouts. A BPA certificate (2008) confirms the genuineness of the pair. The certificate mentions a 'vertical gum crease' which cannot be considered a drawback as it was due to the folding back of the right stamp along the line of this crease that gave rise to the variety (and a partial albino impression of ‘Bechuanaland’). The crease is at a slight angle and is believed to affect only a vertical strip of three stamps from the upper right corner of the pane giving rise to the varieties listed as SG 31a and SG 31c. The right stamp of the pair originally adjoining below has 'Bechuanaland' completely omitted (SG31c, Holmes lot 1104) and the pair below that (Dale-Lichtenstein, lot 12) has almost all of 'Bechuanaland' omitted. Undoubtedly one of the rarest items of Bechuanaland philately, this being the pair that gave rise to the catalogue listing. Almost certainly unique and missing from every major collection. |
