1915-16 opt Kangaroo 9d violet 1st wmk pr from 3rd setting with substituted opt types a + c. This setting is very rare in 9d as only 92 panes of 30 were opt with the bottom row being types a+c+c+c+b+c. The vast majority of these panes were broken up, so only a very small number of this combination a & c se-tenant survive. In addition this pr has the scarce purple opt which can clearly be seen through the back of the stamps & nice combination as such. VF fresh MLH. SG 79 cat £124 as singles, should be at least 4 times £496 for rare pr. SG notes 3rd setting prs, 'se-tenant are scarce' but on 9d very rare. 2024 Ceremuga AIEP photo cert. (2) (P)
