1949 Flying Geese, Dah Tung print, bluish green, without value, unused, no gum as issued, very fresh in colour and very fne. A superb example of this great rarity of Chinese philately with only six copies recorded to be in private hands. Photo

This design was produced for use as a Unit Stamp to be overprinted with appropriate denominations, but was never issued. Similar designs, with values, were also prepared and the dollar values put on sale. Some of the other examples of this stamp have suffered some ageing and are with toned spots or other defacing marks. This example is superb and without fault. A much sought after choice copy!
