 1891 PERF 10x11½-12½: 'Bantam' ½d deep red-brown horizontal pair Perf 10x10x10x11½ Imperforate Between SG 186a, well centred,
large-part o.g., Cat £2000. Rare. Ex Rodney Perry's sale of 6.12.1979 (part of Lot 237). Superior to the similar 'Besancon' (II)/Gary Diffen pair - short perfs at left - that sold for £960.This is actually a different error from the 'Besancon'/Diffen
pair. That item - stated that only three pairs have been recorded - is a regular compound Perf 10x11½, which is consistent with the method that produced alternate columns in the two gauges, the missing central perfs intended to be Perf 10. The pair
offered here is an irregular compound, caused by a column being skipped. If it had been perforated, the vertical perfs would have been 11½-11½-10 or 11½-10-10, in either case inconsistent with the standard layout.Grade A (Image1) (Image2)
