1862-68, 1s, slate grey, no wmk, compound perf 11 to 12 1/2 x 14 to
16, horizontal strip of (6) from R1/1-6 on the sheet with centre
guide between 5-6, LPOG/LPOG never hinged, outer stamps were
hinged, inner (4) stamps are unmounted, odd insignificant traces of
perf toning mentioned for full accuracy, an outstanding positional
multiple, surely unique and apparently the largest extant of this
stamp, with only four blocks of four ever recorded by Messenger,
the lower marginal Jaffe, ex Glossop, block realized more than
£8500 in 2006, despite being rejoined from two pairs, an
extraordinary piece, for the advanced collector, XF! Estimate
5.000€.
