114 S Image1c-90c War, Plate Proofs on Card, Diagonal Blue Handstamp "Specimen" Ovpts (O83P4S-O93P4S). Complete set with Plett Ty. 3 serif ovpts., 3c with inverted handstamp, virtually all large to huge margins, pretty pastel colors

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE COMPLETE SET OF WAR DEPARTMENT CARD PROOFS WITH BLUE TYPE 3 "SPECIMEN" OVERPRINTS. ONLY ONE SET OF THIS TYPE IS RECORDED.

These handstamped "Specimen" overprints were the subject of an outstanding study by Michael Plett, presented in Chronicle 227 (Aug. 2010). These overprints are distinct from the Scott listed "Specimen" overprints on perforated stamps, and are believed to originate from the archives of foreign governments. War Department card proofs exist with each of the four different types of "Specimen" overprints (as described and named by Plett), but only one set of each type is recorded.

Ex Markovits and "Lake Shore". (Image)
