SAINT LUCIA 1967 (PROOF) 1C QUEEN ELIZABETH II PART SHEET WITH TRIAL OVERPRINT
1c Queen Elizabeth II part sheet (number 05403) with 15 stamps haphazardly overprinted 'STATEHOOD 1st MAR. 67' and handwritten inscription 'Proof of type for overprint of Statehood' in right margin. An extraordinary piece. Unique. Some perf separation and ink smudges otherwise fine unused. SG197var; SC182var; LCA458a
Note: the trial overprint differs to the officially used overprint by virtue of being larger in size and with the date in abbreviated form
