New Zealand 1902-07 6d rose-red "Kiwi", watermark 43 UPRIGHT, perforations 11, attractively cancelled by Telegraph Office Nelson circular date stamp dated "25 MR 03", SG312ab.

An exceptional used and dated example of this key rarity in rose-red colour shade and with the watermark upright. A few slightly shortish perforations, but is the best quality example we have ever handled.

The Kiwi is the most ancient of New Zealand’s birds and unable to fly. They are unique to New Zealand and have become a national symbol.

The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £2,000.
