    1884 (Nov 22): £ 5 orange on blued paper, wmk. Anchor, lettered BH-CH / BI-CI, an unused block of four of superb centering and colour, each stamp overprinted SPECIMEN three times (twice diagonally, once horizontally) in black (Type 9). A spectacular block with Dr. John Horsey stating in 'The £5 Orange' on page 109 that just 24 stamps in all were overprinted thus for use as colour standards. Fresh and very fine, some paper hinge remnants, superb large part or unmounted og. Cert. BPA (1976) stating white paper, however this particular block is mentioned by Dr. Horsey and is undoubtedly on blued paper. Rare Gi 128ua = £ 25'000+.rnProvenance: Robson Lowe, London, 26 May 1976.rnrnNote: We can confirm Dr. Horsey's opinion on whether the 'triple Specimen' was only utilised on one pane of the £ 5 on blued paper as stamp BH above does not show the major Frame break which occured when this stamp was printed on white paper. rn
