    1897: Egypt 1 m. brown, a fine mint vertical pair, positions 45/46 on the sheet, top stamp with Type VI overprint, variety: 'Overprint Omitted' on lower stamp, fresh and fine mint, large part og. Extremely rare: Danson's pair was from position 50/60 on the same pane. Just 5 pairs of this variety can exist. Cert. C. Hass (1988) Nile Post S1c/Gi = £ 1'500.

    Note: Due to the diagonal misplacement of the pane during overprinting, positions 56-60 failed to receive the bilingual 'Soudan' overprint, the Type VI overprint should have fallen on stamps 56-60.
