1½d scarlet with fancy italics 'Specimen' handstamp in black ACSC 91xa, very lightly mounted, Cat $1500. Believed to be unique. [The ACSC states that "The specimen handstamp was applied at the GPO London to a stamp returned from Bechuanaland". However, there are traces of another 'S' at L/R indicating there was originally at least one adjoining unit &, more likely, a strip of 3]
1/4d deep turquoise ACSC #129C, well centred, characteristic yellow gum peculiar to this printing, unmounted, Cat $5250. Scott Starling Certificate (2018) states "a fine example of a very rare shade".
