1914-15 High Values with 3½-4mm Spacing '2s.' on 2mk blue SG 13, well centred, regummed, Cat £3500, for mounted mint. BPA Certificate (1973) "unused no gum". It looks like the regummer crudely amended this to "unused also gum". Nice try, but no cigar. Still it remains a very attractive example of this scarce stamp.
1914-15 5mm Spacing '8d.' on 80pf black & carmine on rose SG 26 vertical pair, both units with significant damage to all the type, unmounted, Cat £850++, for mounted singles. BPA Certificate (1982). [The overprint forme was a horizontal setting of ten positions. Therefore, vertical multiples will display the same variations in the type]
