| GB/40c, St. Vincent postmark/cancel (allocated PML.73a showing an upright serif on the '4') an exceptionally clear strike on 1877 QV 1/-vermilion (SG.24). Most strikes of this instrument are badly worn, and it is due these elusive early clear strikes that it was noticed that three, instead of two, types of GB/40c exist. PML.73 sans-serif '4' and rounded top to instrument, PML.73a seriffed '4', PML.74 small 'c' and pointed top to instrument. £75 | |
