Lot Symbol Lot Description CV or Estimate
6227 (*) image1876/77 (Dated 1293): Reprint of Sanar, Plate B, position 14, on
horizontally laid medium thick paper, printed in deep black, unused
with clear to fine margins all round. The FERRARY - TAPLING "swap"
stamp, whereby Thomas Tapling exchanged this stamp for the
Mauritius Post Office 2 d. blue that now resides in the Tapling
collection in the British Library. This stamp, taken as genuine at
the time, was reprinted in Peshawar in 1880 presumably with the
intention of selling examples to British Officers returning from
service in the 2nd. Afghan War. Very few examples appear to have
been 'issued' for sale and only two or three are known today.
Originally in the Tapling collection, it was “swapped” after
considerable negotiation with Baron Philippe de la Renotière
Ferrary - the stamps were adjudged to be of equal value at the
time. Provenance: Collections Tapling, Ferrary, Appleton, Boggs;
thereafter Horst Dietrich, DF, Geneva, 4 Dec 2014, lot 50000. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
