evidence of die-wear manifesting as grey hair on the Queen, generally well-centred, one unit with a minor thin, large-part gum with many units being unmounted, Cat £2730+ for mounted singles. A rare block. Ex Don Pearce: sold for $898 (Sale 249 Lot
1296). [All the horizontal rows are Perf 10. However, the vertical rows alternate between Perf 10 and Perf 11½-12½, creating irregular compound perfs across the sheet] (Image1) (Image2)

 1883-99 QV De La Rue New Denominations Perf 10x11½-12½ 'Bantam' ½d deep red-brown horizontal pair Ireegular Compound Perf
10x10x10x11½ Imperforate Between SG 186a, well-centred, large-part gum, Cat £2000. Rare. Ex Rodney Perry's sale of 6.12.1979 (part of Lot 237) and Don Pearce: sold for $2635 (Sale 249 Lot 1298). 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. (Image1) (Image2)
