India DLR QV 1856-64 SG38 ½a Pale Blue Die I x24 w/Cert UM CV£2640++ , 1855-1878 QV Early De La Rue Printing ,

£2,640.00

Rare large multiple without watermark entirely UM no separation – Brighter shade of spectrum encountered not very deep nor very pale – Auction acquired described as SG37 – Recent (2019) BPA certificate – In my view the shade is a brighter example somewhere in the middle of the range found. It is quite distant from clear-cut pale examples found pre 1865, but does not seem a strong candidate as a clear-cut blue.
