With certificate Karl-Albert Louis 2021: Very large margins on three sides, the left-hand 6d. cut into at bottom caused by uneven alignment due to single die printing by hand. Fine embossing and very fresh mint with almost full original greenish streaky gum and slightest traces of a former hinge, three vertical creases. With the remarks: Interesting printing variety " impressions overlapping 2 mm between stamps". A very rare multiple and an important 'new' stamp find, not having been recorded in my Card Index before. Cat.v. £ 39.000
