 1930 Trial Air Mail
Specimen Overprint Essay on 3d Turquoise King George V Imperforate Stamp with vertical "SPECIMEN" overprint, authorized to become the first air mail stamp of New Zealand, the post office anticipated using an overprinted stamp, but before the
prepared trials were authorized, they direction changed and a set of three stamps was issued in 1931 (Scott C1-C3). The entire supply of 3d Turquoise stamps was destroyed. The "NZ Stamp Collector" reports that there are a few copies being held by the
New Zealand Post Office and that this may be the only copy known to be in a private collection. A must have item for any serious New Zealand, King George V, or Air Mail stamp collection.

process. Very eye catching error, offered with a normal mint block of four. Fine-very fine.

 Specialized
Collection of King George V New Zealand Issues Overprinted "Niue", Scott #s 20/47 with the 2-line overprint on 3d engraved issue with a plate "19" upper corner pair, a two-perf pair (Scott #20c - cat US$225) and a single of the perf 14 x 14¼. The
surface printings include blocks of the ½d, both colours of the 1½d and a 3d single. The 2½d engraved issue includes a two-perf block and a corner plate "17" block, the 3d has a corner plate "18" block, and a two-perf pair. The 6d carmine has a nice
mint block, a two-perf pair and a single. The 1sh has a two-perf pair, a plate "27" block (no side selvedge), to go along with a couple of shades. The 2sh Admiral has a single of the light blue shade and a block of the darker shade on Jones paper.
Much cheaper to get these eye-catching items than if they were unoverprinted, and the print numbers are much smaller. (Scan 1)
