Ceylon 1867-70 10d red-orange, watermark CC type 6, horizontal strip of 4 from left of sheet, SG70b.

Brilliant quality mint strip of four with large part original gum. Light gum creasing mentioned for accuracy, although immaterial to what is an exceptionally fine quality multiple.

Accompanied with a clear 2007 Royal Philatelic Society (RPS) certificate of authenticity. The certificate does not mention the light gum creasing.

Very scarce, particularly because it is of such desirable quality.

Provenance: Ex Joseph Hackmey, considered to be the finest collection of Ceylon stamps ever assembled.
