image PLATE PROOF: 1d carmine on Pink Paper Perf 14 & punctured 'OS' BW #70PP(5), full unmounted o.g.!!, Cat $7500. Michael Drury Certificate (2015). Ex Prestige Philately (24/5/2008) and Arthur Gray: sold at our auction of 30.10.2015 for $3143. Michael Drury Certificate (2017). The ACSC states that this "is believed to be a proof prepared for the contractor who manufactured the OS puncturing head. At least one pair and two singles are known. The origin of the tinted watermarked paper is unclear; it may have been specially dyed for the purpose". The centring of the stamp and position of the perfin are identical to the example illustrated at page 4/64 of the ACSC.
