British Commonwealth Specimens

Indian Ocean Group. Wide ranging and lightly duplicated selection of 42 Queen Victoria to GeoVI period issues, mostly with either "SPECIMEN" overprints or perfins. The colonies included in this group consist of Ceylon, Mauritius (including a plate number block of the 50c GeoV value without SPECIMEN overprint) and Seychelles. While most are in incomplete sets, there are loads of better stamps including high value Rupee values. Huge catalogue value when pro-rated from Scott or Stanley Gibbons catalogues for complete sets. Some faults and toning to be expected. The lot includes the original sales cards with cross referenced catalogue numbers and values.Estimate =
