China 1897 (Jan) Small figure surcharge on Dowager Empress Issue, set of 10 to 3c on 24ca rose-carmine, SG37/46.
A fine quality mint set with part to large part original gum. The 10c on 9ca has some perforation tones and is rather heavily hinged, yet overall quality of this difficult set is still better than average.
The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £4,500.
