1883-98 QV 48c pale brown - watermark Crown CA - trial perforation 12 - part original gum example, slightly clipped at base, otherwise fine example of lovely colour, accompanied by clear 2008 RPS photo-certificate stating 'After Consultation' - is of unknown staus but appears to be a Genuine Trial perforation. Unlisted by SG.The trial perforation 12 stamps listed under SG 151a/b/c are undercatalogued, so rare that even the Royal Collection is missing the 24c and of course this 48c value (which should be SG151d) of which only 2 are known, this being the finest example.

HONG KONG a used QV to QEII range ( a few 100's), MACAU mint/ used(c30 stamps), TAIWAN: 200+ used stamps mainly 1960's-90's. Odd others (Manchuria, Foreign P.O.'s). Some duplication throughout. A wonderful lot to sort with an enormous catalogue value in the China section, (we have noted the early Communist reprints). Quality really very much better than average. (1000's) £900
