Michel #464-483 with (a) and (b) types; value 190 EUR in 2007 edition.
Perfect MNH condition.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE GUM SIDE: gum of Uniform stamps is white and shiny, and in same perfect condition on stamps of this lot; gum of Navigators is originally yellowish. In process of applying the overprints, very thin and transparent "cigarette" paper was used probably to protect the gum of upper sheets from receiving imprints of black or red ink from lower overprinted sheets. This protective paper was then removed or just left there, and stamps (pairs) were separated off the sheets together with that cigarette paper.

In our lot, there is ONE pair with cigarette paper not removed, and 2 pairs where it is not completely removed.
The 2nd image shows examples: 1) the pair with white gum is one of the Uniforms pairs - all of them are just like that, perfectly MNH; 2) two yellow-gum pairs are typical examples of completely removed cigarette paper from Navigators; 3) the left yellow pair of lower row is our only one with paper not removed, and 4) right pair in lower row is one of our 2 items where fragments of paper are still there.
