PAPUA 1901 SG15a Mint digital-edition Superb used four margin example1901 05 1s black and orange, thin paper, wmk vertical (comb perf), from June 1905 printing which was mostly overprinted in Brisbane (to provide SG 44b), brilliant o. g. with barest trace of hingeing (if at all). Typical centring and a trivial gum wrinkle, mentioned for accuracy, still a very fine example of this extremely scarce stamp. Only 205 existed without opt (175 sold in London, plus one sheet of 30 preserved in the DLR archives). P212015249
