10s 1918 SG N71 Bright Metallic Blue in an u\/mint corner marginal block of four.<\/p>\n
This shade is listed on Page 195 in Stanley Gibbons specialised catalogue 2015 edition.<\/p>\n
This rare shade is much brighter than any of the basic listed shades including the scarce Steel blue<\/p>\n
and it comes from Bradbury Wilkinson’s first series from 1919-1925.<\/p>\n
The block has been mounted in the top margin only and all stamps are superb unmounted mint although there are<\/p>\n
a couple of nibbled perforations at bottom right. .<\/p>\n
All stamps have the Broken “S” in Postage variety from Plate 1\/3.<\/p>\n
It is described by Stanley Gibbons on Page 195 as a very rare shade, something I agree with.<\/p>\n
This is the first block of four of this rare shade I have seen in over 40 years in philately. A very special and remarkable item.<\/p>\n
