    1947 (Feb/July): Airmail part set of nine values from 2 m. vermilion to 200 m. grey, all in vertical Imperforate pairs (less the 20, 40 and 50 m. values), all on watermarked paper, each pair showing vertical "Doctor Blade" flaws, heavily so on the 5 m. and 200 m. values. An extremely rare selection. It is believed that the 'Doctor Blade' flaws were 'ordered' by King Farouk but were not 'issued' in complete sheets. Fresh and fine, superb unmounted og. A unique assembly.
