1. Thank you for helping make 2011 a good year for all of us. We have
appreciated your participation in our auctions. This year we enjoyed an
excellent balance of four general auctions, plus concept sales devoted to
“The World at War”, “Pacific Islands” and the Australian Colonies / States.
In addition, we were delighted to present to you important “name sales” of
Mark Benvie’s New Zealand Chalon Period postal history and Len
Colgan’s Siam/Thailand. In addition to those nine public auctions, we
conducted two very popular on-line sales of philatelic literature.
Most recently, our “Australian Colonies/States” sale on 23 rd September
turned out to be a great success. Despite a few soft areas, overall the
auction was very well supported, with 82.6% of the 1100 lots finding new
homes. Very fine Classic stamps and South Australian Departmentals
continue to gather strong heads of steam. The ground-breaking collections
of Tasmanian and Western Australian revenues set new market levels. It
was very pleasing to see Victoria’s Ultra-High Values selling in all directions.
Once again we demonstrated that when a fine collection of long untested
material happens along, the buyers will materialise.
2. It is often the case that auction catalogues really are the best available
references on particular subjects. One of our aims in preparing the best
collections for sale is, therefore, for the catalogues to be seen as reference
works of value. We believe we have a responsibility to the market as a
whole, and to our vendors in particular, to provide as much information
about the material and as many images as possible to create catalogues
that fully justify being in the libraries of serious philatelists. It is thus most
gratifying when dealers and collectors express their opinions that our
catalogues are “must haves” for their bookshelves.
Will yours be the next collection to be accorded what we call “The Prestige
Difference”?
3. The next in our on-going series of special sales will be devoted to a quite
remarkable property, the extensive collection of “Royal Navy
Concessional Rates 1795-1913” formed by distinguished New Zealand
philatelist Gerald Ellott, RDP. You will often see soldiers’ letters at auction,
but sailors’ letters are a very different proposition. They are as scarce as
hens’ teeth. I can’t wait to get my teeth into this fascinating material. If you
haven’t yet requested a copy of the catalogue, please do so
immediately. It will be a “keeper”, and he print-run will be strictly limited.
4. We are now planning our programme for 2012 so if you have been
thinking about hanging up your tweezers or heading in a different direction I
would welcome your enquiries about how Prestige Philately can assist you.
We are particularly keen to talk with clients who wish to take advantage of
our top-end “Signature Series” sales for collections of distinction. There is
no better way for your collecting achievements to be recognised than in a
sumptuous hardbound full colour catalogue in which all the illustrations are
placed within the text, supported by a permanent stand-alone website
bearing your name.

5. Currently in the planning stages is a sale devoted to New Zealand subjects. Already we have
had two significant collections consigned, with a third promised. I have always believed that our
Trans-Tasman neighbour is a wonderful collecting field, offering everything from beautiful Classics
to modern errors, with lots of Kiwi innovations (coils, advertising stamps, meters etc) thrown in for
good measure. Again, this promises to be an exceptional sale, in which you can be a featured
vendor. If this idea tantalises you, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss what you wish
us to include for you.
6. So, finally, to the current auction, which is a really good way to round out the year. Another 1100
lots; another $800,000 in estimates.
The sale commences with 100 lots of collections, accumulations, coins and postcards. Please note
that we have decided to no longer begin our General Auctions with a range of uncatalogued
“supplementary” lots. The better material from this genre will now be included in the
miscellaneous sections or under specific countries: we will refer the lesser material to more suitable
outlets.
The Australian section runs to 300 lots with a very fine array of Kangaroos including stunning
singles and every ACSC-listed variant of the 'SPECIMEN' Overprints, from Aubrey Pitt's
collection. Aubrey and two other vendors have between them consigned the best array of the everpopular
"Missing Colours" that we have ever offered.
Following our very successful Australian Colonies auction in September, this part of the sale is a bit
lean, with only 100 lots on offer. However, included are some magnificent stamps and covers, and
many collections and mixed lots.
The Rest of the World features stamps and covers from East Asia. The extensive China
selection includes Imperial, Republic and PRC issues, plus a fine collection of the United States
Postal Agency in Shanghai. There is also a range from Hong Kong, a nice Malaya section, a fine
single-volume collection of Japan, and a good selection from Thailand. A handy offering of mostly
Asian literature rounds out the sale.
German Colonies in the Pacific is another key section with a very fine collection of stamps and
postal history consigned by a European vendor. The strength is in Kiautschou, including rare
"Petschili" usages in Peking, and German New Guinea with a number of significant rarities on offer.
The theme continues with an excellent array of New Guinea 'G.R.I.' Overprints to '5s.' on 5mk, and
Samoan 'G.R.I.'s, including key rarities, from American collector Gernot Reiners.
7. At Prestige Philately, we are very fortunate to have engaged the services of a number of highly
regarded philatelists as our external agents. I’m delighted to advise that Mark Benvie from
Auckland has agreed to be our first representative in New Zealand. Mark is president of the
Postal History Society of New Zealand. Like most of our agents, Mark has personal experience of
selling through Prestige. He was delighted with how we handled his International Large Gold Medal
exhibit of Chalon Period postal history from New Zealand. Mark will be pleased to assist our clients
across the “Pond”.
8. Finally, all of us at Prestige would again like to extend to you our gratitude for your support
through 2011. We send you our best wishes for a wonderful festive season and a peaceful and
successful 2012.

Understanding our Symbols & Unique Grading System
At Prestige Philately we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of.
We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with
the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is
important that you understand our Grading System because the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that
once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the
event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to return it. We stand behind the Prestige
Grading System.
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. (The actual location of the
illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.)
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:
** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.
Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece
C Cover or card PS Postal Stationery
CL Cover, long CX Cover, oversize
A Albums and accessories B Booklet
E Essay L Literature
P Proof R Reprint
S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)
or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:
V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear O Used, quality unspecified
F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark
H Heavy or poorly struck postmark
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to
covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections.
A ‘C’ item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which
one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder
on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may
have a previous owner’s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or
handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be
mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item is of the standard that you personally require.
Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved
to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the
lot.
4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps
are very well centred; ‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the
design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design.
[NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century
American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should
be expected and accepted. For such issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough
perforations, will drop the grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’
grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a ‘4’.
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm.
However, for many issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of
the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’
(complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise
a bit short of the mark.
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, followed
by a small "T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest
bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered.
7. We use the following standardised abbreviations:
o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) PPC picture postcard
d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp
mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date
o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s)

Prestige Philately - Public Auction Terms of Sale
(amended as at 1 st March 2010: see in particular Paragraph 10 as to the unavailability of extensions to have perfins expertised)
1. AUCTIONEER: Prestige Philately Pty Ltd (Prestige), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to
the standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.
2. DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the
description (for details of our symbols and grading codes, see the previous page of this catalogue); 2) the description; and 3) any
illustration of the lot or part of the lot whether in the printed catalogue or in our on-line catalogue.
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is our estimated value of the lot in Australian dollars. A
bidder may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) are unlikely to be accepted. If
the term “Offer” appears in place of an estimate figure, there is no reserve.
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to Prestige by mail, by fax, by e-mail, by phone, or from our website. Bids received by phone must be
confirmed in writing. At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending
an auction. An agent must advise Prestige of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable
for payment and delivery of any lots purchased. Prestige reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any
reason.
In most cases, Prestige's bidding steps are as follows:
$150 - 300 $10 rises $3000 - 5000 $200 rises
$300 - 500 $20 rises $5000 - 10000 $250 rises
$500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises
Under $ 50 $2 rises $750 - 1500 $50 rises $15000 - 30000 $1000 rises
$50 - 150 $5 rises $1500 - 3000 $100 rises over $30000 average of 5% rises
Prestige reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps.
5. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this
service must contact Prestige at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special
conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and downloaded.]
6. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be
payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by the estimate figure:
being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Prestige is
also payable by Australian buyers.
7. BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by Prestige. In the event of equal bids being
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a bidding dispute, Prestige shall have absolute discretion in the
settling of the dispute. A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the
buyer until Prestige has received payment in full for the lot.
8. PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. In addition to the price for which a lot is
sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or credit card use that are
charged by Prestige, plus GST as appropriate. No buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of on-line literature auctions.
(Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the equivalent of $A50
towards bank fees, any resulting credit being placed to the buyer's account.)
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Prestige shall have
the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:
1) To impose an accounting fee of $10 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 2.5% per
month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to
Prestige;
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time - and impose a penalty commission rate of 30% - in
which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses,
shall be met by the original buyer;
4) To apply any monies due at any time from Prestige to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount;
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.
9. RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the
definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot
that is illustrated in the printed catalogue or the on-line catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the
buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason that is apparent from the illustration.
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing more than
10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots expressed to be
offered "as is" cannot be returned.
10. "EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity
must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Prestige shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In
particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have
perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with
an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be
not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer.
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot
description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any finding that does not materially affect the grading
of the lot.
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Prestige, and Prestige will be
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should Prestige agree to the buyer's nomination of an expert or
expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate
has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and Prestige may thereafter refuse to
accept the return of the lot.
11. GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria.
12. Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

The catalogue numbering of the sub-types is truly perverse. The Hooked 'C' occurs 5 times in each forme of 30
and should be designated Type C(a). The last of these units - [25] & [55] - also has the Shaved 'S' and, as a
sub-type of Type C(a), should therefore be designated Type C(aa). The Shaved 'P' - which also occurs 5 times in
the forme of 30 - should be designated Type C(b). The catalogue listing then needs to be re-ordered to be
consistent with this situation.
NB: These comments, of course, apply also to the Type C overprints on the Third Watermark £1 grey and £2, the
Small Multiple Watermark 10/- and the CofA Watermark 10/-. {Page 27.5}

1917 (late) stampless cover to England apparently from Western Australia but with a faint strike of the undated
'TRISTAN/DA/CUNHA' cachet Type I (SG C1, Cat £4000 on cover), superb strikes of the worn 'FREMANTLE/
ESTERN AUSTRAL ' transit cds & hexagonal 'T/20' h/s, endorsed on the flap "No Date/Received 8-3-18", minor
spotting on the reverse; with the enclosed letter headed "Tristan dacunha" & signed "Sophy Rogers". One of the
most extraordinary origin/destination covers we have ever offered.
The unpunctuated handwriting appears to be that of a child: "...I hope that the war will end soon as it is a very
cruel war...We have not had a ship for 18 months now...we are all looking forward to seeing the wailer [sic] again
this month ther [sic] is no news at present...wishing you Compliments of the season from all on the island".
Tristan da Cunha is the most remote inhabited island on the planet, even more isolated than Pitcairn. In 1816, it
was formerly annexed by Great Britain. "Rogers" is one of only seven surnames shared by the islanders: an eighth
was added only in 1986! Communication with the outside world has always been difficult. IAt least until the 1930s,
Norwegian whaling vessels were the most regular visitors. Several covers from Tristan to Europe via Australia are
recorded from south-bound voyages. Jack Cole's famous Tristan collection included an almost identical cover to
this: Lot 17 (1998).{Page 56.1}

ship on which an infectious disease had been reported. The earliest such event recorded was in 1828. In 1853, the
burial ground was moved so it was no longer the first thing seen by new arrivals! Occasional use was made of the
facility until about 1960, after which events were infrequent. The last occasion was for the "Nikki Maru" in 1972. The
"Aorangi" was quarantined twice, in 1930 & in 1935, on both occasions for smallpox. Some form of postal service

relates the difficulties of reaching Gladstone by land "...I am told we are just now 200 miles from Gladstone...I shall
be there in 18 days"; also a letter headed "Brisbane 9th June 1856" & similarly signed. [Richard Hetherington was
Gladstone's first mayor, and postmaster from 1857. In 1870, he died while delivering mail aboard a ship when he
fell into the ship's hold: a newspaper notice of his death is included. Myall Creek PO opened 1/8/1854 - so this was

desirable item. [With enclosed letter headed "Nether [?] Gill/Port Curtis 13th Feby 1855" signed "R Hetherington"]
Port Curtis was chosen in 1846 as the site for the "capital" of the proposed colony of North Australia, comprising
the entire area north of Gympie, west to the Western Australian border! An ill-conceived settlement was abandoned
after three months, when word arrived from London that the anticipated influx of convict labour would not be
eventuating. The new colony was still-born. It was only in 1853 that the town of Gladstone was founded at Port
Curtis.{Page 62.2}

South Australia boasts a large Lutheran community descended from Germans who emigrated to escape religious
persecution in their homeland. The first group arrived in 1838. Despite the influx of German immigrants, mail to
Germany is rare, probably because whole families made the journey, leaving behind few people with whom they
wished to remain in contact. The rarity of mail to Germany is highlighted by the paucity of such items in major
collections: Jack Beresford (1958) had only one, an 1858 entire newspaper (!); Rev James Mursell (1964) had
none; Henry Frenkle (1979) had only one, of 1879; John Griffiths (1992) had only one, of 1880; and Harry Lower
(2007) had two, of 1858 and 1863.
The Kingdom of Hannover was created by the Congress of Vienna in 1814. It was ruled by Britain's House of
Hanover until 1837. In 1867 it was conquered by and absorbed into Prussia.{Page 67.1}

- Bahawalpur
Some time ago we began receiving occasional consignments of Bahawalpur including a number of covers. This was quite startling as
the remarkable "Hyphasis" Collection - sold by us on 8.10.2005 - had very little cover material. To say that eyebrows were raised by the
new "discoveries" would be an understatement. However, many of the items were recorded and in some cases illustrated in the
monumental work "The Amirate of Bahawalpur" by Isani & Abid (2006). Our enquiries have revealed that all of the "new" material -
including specimen stamps, proofs and revenues - is from the personal collection of the Amir of Bahawalpur. After his death in 1966,
the Amir's estate was sequestered as legal battles raged within his family. These matters were finally resolved only a few years ago,
resulting in the philatelic material being acquired by two Pakistani collectors, who are our vendors. Apparently fearing that this material
is either not genuine, or that a great quantity exists, some collectors have decided not to participate in our recent sales. We have
sought to allay these fears. We have requested the vendors to obtain certificates of authenticity before sending material to us and this
they have done: many of the certificates are signed by Dr Isani. We have also been assured that there is no huge hoard of material
lurking in Pakistan. Some of the covers, especially those with high values or with handstamped Star & Crescent devices, were almost
certainly philatelically contrived. However, if it weren't for the Amir having organised the return to him of such covers, most of this
material would simply not exist. At least it has passed through the postal system. And many of the covers have all the attributres of
being undoubtedly commercial or official mail. Our expectation is that once this source is exhausted, we will return to the days when
Bahawalpur covers were rarely seen. And then we expect that many collectors will express their regret at not having participated in our
auctions when the Amir's covers first came onto the market.

stationery was available so this provisional expedient was resorted to. This is the only example we have recorded
used to any external destination apart from Germany]
Bita Paka was the site of an important radio station, of major strategic importance. The "Battle of Bita Paka", on
11/9/1914 was Australia's first engagement of World War I. 25 naval reservists overcame stiff resistance, losing
seven killed & five wounded. The Germans lost an NCO and about 30 armed Melanesians. This item was written
the day before the Australian offensive. The postcard was impounded and held at Herbertshohe for more than a
year before being released. The sender identified himself as a Feldwebel (= sergeant), so he was probably the
NCO who died in the engagement.{Page 115.2}

Robert Gibbs. BPA (1981) & Briefmarkenprüfstelle Basel (2004) Certificates.
This cover, addressed to Sydney dealer JS Smyth, is illustrated by Gibbs at page 21 where he states that it
contained a letter of summons for Smyth to attend as a witness at the court martial of Lt George Moore, who was
the censor of this cover! The caption is inaccurate: the summons quoted requires Smyth to produce inter alia "a
letter written by [Moore] to you under date 22nd February 1915", which is a reference to the contents of this cover.
Moore was court-martialled for having sold in excess of the imposed limit of 10/- face value of stamps to himself,

Gibbs notes "The 3d on 25pf is reported to exist on white instead of yellow paper. This would be an unofficial
variety." However, the possibility of such an "error of colour" slipping through the rigorous controls of the German
Post Office is considered as lacking in credibility. Our vendor's assessment is that "this variety is the result of too
much exposure to the Samoan sun"]{Page 132.10}

Our vendor notes that the overprinting of the GRI stamps commenced on 3rd September, a Thursday. This is the
date given by Gibbons and Gibbs as the day of issue. However, given the laborious nature of the job, and the need
to have lower denominations available for day-to-day use, Mr Reiners suggests that Monday 7th was more likely the
First Day of Issue, especially for the High Values and more particularly for this stamp which was a correction to the
'Shillings' error.{Page 138.3}

auction of 12/2/2010]
The current Gibbons' footnote states "We no longer list the £2 value as it is doubtful this was used for postal
purposes". By this reasoning, hundreds of British Empire high value stamps for which there was clearly no postal
need - eg Kenya & Uganda and Northern Nigeria - should be de-listed. At least two genuinely postally used - and
expertised - examples of the £2 value exist: see below. Gibbons' curious action in discriminating against this stamp
has served to significantly reduce its value in the marketplace.{Page 140.3}
