Mauritius, 1859 'Post Paid' 2d blue, intermediate state of the plate, SG.38 (cat.£1,400). Very attractive used example with light cancel in UR corner well clear of the profile, nice even margins on upper three sides, lower margin slightly into frame at LR corner. Absolutely sound and free of repairs, a very clean stamp. Accompanied by 1977 R.P.S. certificate.
