North Borneo 1886-7 8c green, SG27

North Borneo 1886-87 8c green "Coat of Arms" type 9, block of 20 (4x5) being the four left columns of the sheet with full margins, SG27.

A stunning fresh mint block with original gum, hinged on two stamps only, otherwise unmounted mint. A little separation (between R1/1-2, but mostly marginal) as normally seen with a multiple of this size and does not detract from overall splendid appearance.

A scarce and attractive multiple of an early stamp issue from North Borneo in very fine condition.

The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £600+.
