St Helena 1922-37 4d grey and black/yellow, watermark MCA, horizontal pair showing variety 'Torn flag' on right stamp (R4/6), SG92b.

Very fine quality mint example with original gum.

Only 2,012 possible examples of this stamp variety and much rarer as a pair.

This definitive issue, first released in 1922, was designed by the St Helena-born Postmaster Thomas R. Bruce. It was similar to the 1912-16 pictorials, but instead of the Government House or the Wharf, these stamps showed the badge of St. Helena - a three-masted sailing ship near two large rocks.

The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £290+.
