A fine and fresh mint horizontal pair with part original gum, the right stamp showing variety 'Broad top to M', left pane, R7/3. One slightly shortish perforation, barely worthy of mention as so fine.
A rare variety in this se-tenant form with only 25 possible examples!
Following a decision to identify the exact revenue derived from the Morocco postal service, separate stamps were needed for the Morocco Agencies. This requirement further became necessary because of a Revision of Fees Ordinance in Gibraltar, which required all fees to be collected in Sterling, while the Morocco Agencies continued to use Spanish currency. This led to the introduction of Gibraltar stamps with 'Morocco Agencies' overprints.
