adjoining unit below, from the right of the sheet with marginal vertical watermark lines at right, very fine GPO cds of OC12/70. Unlisted by Gibbons and the only recorded example. Necessarily offered 'as is' but the edge-of-sheet position and size of
the margins cause us to share Don Pearce's confidence that this is a genuine error.

small piece by 'PORT ADELAIDE/ AU15/70/SA' cds, Cat £215+. Unpublished research by Gary Diffen indicates that there were two printings with the red overprint. This stamp is a brighter ultramarine than the previous two lots. It is also dated only 9
days after the ERD, suggesting that this was the earlier issued printing. [Only three covers via Brindisi at the 1/1d rate have been recorded: this would have been a fourth.]
