Kuwait 1950-54 5r on 5s red, upper left corner block of 4 showing variety "Extra bar at top" on R2/2, SG91a.
A very fine mint positional block with original gum. The lower pair are unmounted mint. Much fresher quality than usually found, and now extremely scarce in this positional form. Absolutely stunning piece.
