A magnificent and rare multiple. Cert. Holcombe (1998) Gi = £ 29'200+.rnrnNote: The surcharge was made from a Setting of 50 in two operations, one sheet had a misplacement of the Plate resulting in the fifth row receiving a second surcharge and the tenth row receiving none. The "L" flaw was probably the result of an extraneous piece of metal on the Plate.rnrn
