Description
Gibraltar 1946 Victory ½d green and 3d ultramarine, perforated 'SPECIMEN' (type D21), VERTICAL PAIRS, SG132s/3s.
Very fine unmounted mint vertical pairs with full original gum (the 3d pair with some separation).
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.
Particularly rare unmounted mint as multiples.
