Item Description

Stanley Gibbons identifies two types of overprints. Type A has the "B" of BRITISH positioned directly over the "M" of SOMALILAND. Type B has the "B" of BRITISH positioned over the "OM" of SOMALILAND. In some cases, the "B" is not clearly in either position, but somewhere between. There are other undocumented (as far as I know) variations in the sizes and vertical positioning of the overprint letters.

This stamp has original gum and a hinge remnant. There is some orange staining of the gum that is similar to foxing, but I'm not enough of an expert to state with certainty that it is or isn't foxing. There are small black (ink?) spots on and in front of the queen's forehead.

You may combine this item with other stamp sale lots to save on shipping. Thank you for looking.

All stamps are carefully packaged for safe delivery.
