Cat No: 49b"
RED OVERPRINT: 'C.D.' on QV Perkins Bacon Large Star Wmk Compound Rouletted & Perf 11½-12½ 1/- red-brown with rouletting at base & right plus Misplaced Vertical Perfs into the design at right, cut from the sheet on all sides to preserve the design, also with the Overprint Misplaced to the Left (and with part of the adjoining overprint at right), large-part gum. Gibbons may have listed this as DO100 (Cat £4500 used; unpriced unused) but the description doesn't quite fit. Ex Baron von Ferrary, Theodore Champion and Philip Croker. Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2009) states "...great rarity...Extremely unusual roulette/perf combination being similar to SG 49b", which is listed as Rouletted Remainders Subsequently Perforated, and unpriced. Superior to and more attractive than the 'Besancon' example, that sold for SFr2660. They are the only recorded examples. (Image1)

Cat No: DO101a
BLACK OVERPRINT: 'C.D.' on QV De La Rue Large Star Wmk Perf 11½-12½ 2d dull orange SG DO101a with an Extra Vertical Line of Rouletting, slightly trimmed perfs at left, light '6'-in-circle cancel of Redruth (site of the only jail outside Adelaide), unpriced unused or used by Gibbons. Ex Brown, Colonel Harry Napier (III) and Don Pearce: sold for $1375 (Sale 247 Lot 175). RPSL Certificate (1965) incorrectly states "perf 11-12½ and roulette".
An enigma: Ron Butler lists 'Perf 12 [sic] x Rouletted' - probably based on the certificate - rated RRRRR. However, such a stamp has not been recorded. This stamp is perforated on all sides. As such it is unlisted, and the only recorded example, so it should be rated RRRRRR. Don Pearce concluded that it is a mis-rouletted stamp with perforations added to correct the misplacement.
