Cat No: Collection

image BLACK OVERPRINT: 'L.L.' on De La Rue Crown/SA Wmk Perf 10 2d red-orange with Defective Second 'L', GPO cds of AU25/77. Unlisted by Ron Butler & the only recorded example so, if genuine, it should be rated RRRRRR. Offered "as is". [This stamp is something of an enigma. Compared to other 'L.L.' stamps, the overprint is ½mm short & ½mm long. And the usage is very late. It has been given a Chris Ceremuga Certificate as a forgery. However, the cds appears to be across the overprint, it was found in a multi-generational collection, and it is the only recorded example, which begs the question "Why go to all the trouble of creating a one-off stamp, with an unrecorded variety?"]
