St Lucia 1946 Victory 1d lilac and 3½d blue, perforated 'SPECIMEN' (type D21), SG142s/3s.
A very fine quality pair, both unmounted mint with full original gum.
Extremely scarce with full original gum as almost all were mounted in stamp albums by collectors.
The Victory stamps were issued in 1946 to celebrate the return to peace at the end of World War II. The designs feature a view of the Thames River in London, with a view of the Parliament buildings in the distance.
These "SPECIMEN" examples were used solely by postal administrations for reference purposes to help spot any attempted forgeries.
