HONG KONG 1863-71 96c brownish grey variety, SG19w

Hong Kong 1863-71 brownish grey, Watermark CC, variety watermark inverted, SG19w.

A fine used example, crisply cancelled by large part 'S1' of Shanghai which leaves profile virtually clear. Lovely fresh colour and a premium example, far above average for these early issues from Hong Kong and particularly scarce with the inverted watermark variety.
