Second postage due set to the 5/-, overprinted SPECIMEN, missing only the two high values, but includes three extra shilling values with vertical overprints (not the horizontal ones mentioned in Stanley Gibbons). Good appearance, although a bit heavily hinged (as often found on SPECIMEN stamps). We also note one has an inverted watermark (again not mentioned in the Gibbons). In total, there are 15 stamps. A very scarce set. Pro-rata 2018 Stanley Gibbons catalogue £1175.00 =
