Great Britain 1841 2d blue, SGDP43.
A very fine unused top marginal example from the small trial sheet of twelve without corner letters.
These stamps were printed for distribution to postmasters announcing the new forthcoming issue.
The small plate of 12 impressions was made because the first 2d plate of the new type "with white lines" was not ready and specimens were required for distribution with the announcement of the forthcoming issue. There were no letters in the lower corners. Printings were in full deep blue.
Scarce and very fine.
GB Specialised Catalogue No: DP43.
