    1938 (July 1): "5 PIASTRES" on Airmail 2½ pi. magenta & blue, perf. 11½ x 12½, a used example on small piece cancelled by part "Khartoum" cds in black (Oct 1939). Holcombe pencil writing on reverse states 'error'. See the Colonel Danson sale, lot 809, which contained an unused example of this error (or perhaps even an Essay or Proof) - the Surcharge is from the original type however it is not known whether this is an error, a trial or a philatelic fantasy. However five mint examples are recorded and just two used. Rare.
