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.
