    1886: 2 a. violet-blue, position 18 from Setting 5, printed in light blue (error of colour, printed in the ink used for the 1 anna), a fine and fresh example with fair to large margins, cancelled by barred oval obliterator. This example is in a much lighter shade than the other deep blue variety items, a most appealing colour variety wîth the cancellation leaving the tablet free. Opinion Flack (2011).rnrnNote: Hellrigl & Vignola state in their book: "The printings in Blue are extremely rare. These are undoubtly genuine errors of colour ... no postally used copies are known".

Singer 'Nepal 1772-1961 and beyond'.rnProvenance: Hardyal Singh Gupta collection; Richard Frajola collection.
