sheet at top slightly into the design and at base clear of the design, the lower piece separated & rejoined with a hinge, shallow thin at the base, stained by the large-part brown gum, Cat £700. Rated RRRRR but the only example known to us. Ex
Colonel Napier (II) and 'Besancon': sold for SFr725. Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2018) states "Great rarity...original gum". Absent from Don Pearce's collection. [In the Napier catalogue, this stamp was inappropriately described as "pawky", an odd
little word that means having a mocking or cynical sense of humour. Perhaps they meant "mawky", but that's harsh: the stamp is hardly nauseating]
