 1882-95 QV Large Chalons 10/- imperforate colour trial pair in unadopted colour of blue-green (similar to the adopted colour for
the Pound) on thin card, good even margins, poor strike of an unusual sans-serif 'SPECIMEN.' Handstamp (26½x3mm) in rosine with a very fine strike. Ex Bernie Manning: sold for $1105 (Sale 146 Lot 1060). Arthur Basset Hull at page 159 refers to a
single of the 10/- in blue-green "overprinted [sic] 'SPECIMEN' horizontally in black in large sans-serif capitals, probably extending over three stamps". This may well have been derived from the same sheet as this item & the handstamp may be the
same, as its length is sufficient to appear across three units (Image1) (Image2)
