It is punctured WA, and shows the mixed line of perforations at base". Gibbons does not provide a separate listing for Mixed Perfs, although these are much scarcer than regular compound perfs (with the same gauge top & bottom and another gauge left & right). The Single Line Perf 11 rows were applied to correct the Comb Perf 12 row cutting the design at left. Ex Trevor Hiscock & Gary Diffen. Rare: two of only three examples in private hands. The other example, with Mixed Perfs at Base, sold in Gary Diffen's 'Australian Colonies Errors' for £720.
