1d. carmine-red reconstructed marginal block of six formed by three horizontal pairs, the top pair, marginal with plate number “7”, variety one without overprint, the centre pair variety “Bechuanaland” omitted and the pair at foot with almost all of “Bechuanaland” omitted, all three pairs showing part albino impressions of the overprint, the upper pair with the stamps remaining unmounted, the two other pairs with large part original gum; the varieties caused by a folding under of part of the upper right corner with some resultant creasing which should not be considered a caveat. A remarkable accomplishment to bring these three pairs together, which were last offered together in 1900. Undoubtedly one of the most important items of Bechuanaland philately. B.P.A.

The marginal pair without overprint has not appeared at auction since that time. The crease only affected a vertical strip of four stamps from the upper right corner of the pane.

Note: In 1888 John Moffat established a runner post service from Mafeking to Bulawayo. The service commenced on 21 August though after this one day the word “Bechuanaland” was excised from the Tati and Gubulawayo datestamps in order to avoid offending the Matabele King Lobangula who had his headquarters at Gubulawayo and claimed the Tati area.

Note: This stamp does not conform to the theory that the reason for the double surcharge was that the first surcharge was out of plane. This surcharge, amongst other examples, seems to indicate that one row was, although level, too faint and shifted sideways. In this printing, unlike the out of plane printings, the settings are not coincedent; hence the double surcharge with “OIE” but not a double “OIE”. The example in the Royal Collection also confirms this. PROVENANCE:

Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the lot will sell or its value for any other purpose. 3.2.2 many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. we provide this information for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. 3.2.3 other than as set out in clause 5.13, and in the absence of fraud, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any lot nor for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any lot.

3.4.4 we will not normally accept a request for an extension on account of condition. Any lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a forgery. 3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the lot. 3.4.6 it should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. no request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted. 4

AT THE SALE 4.1

Refusal of admission our sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.

4.2

Registration before bidding You must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check. Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “premium lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3

Bidding as Principal when making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

4.4

Commission Bids if you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. if we receive commission bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should therefore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

4.5

On-line Bidding we offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. we will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of internet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

4.6

Telephone Bids if you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7

Currency Converter At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Barclays Bank plc or any other appropriate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us, which is usually sterling for auctions held in london. the currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. we shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

4.8

Video images At some auctions there will be a video screen. mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspondence of the image to the lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

4.9

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in the following order although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. the normal bidding increments are: up to £100 by £5 £100 to £300 by £10 £300 to £600 £320-£350-£380-£400 etc. £600 to £1,000 by £50 £1,000 to £3,000 by £100 £3,000 to £6,000 £3,200-£3,500-£3,800-£4,000 etc. £6,000 to £20,000 by £500 £20,000 and up Auctioneer’s discretion

4.10 Bidding by Spink 4.10.1 we reserve the right to bid on lots on the Seller’s behalf up to the amount of the reserve (if any), which will never be above the low estimate printed in the auction catalogue. 4.10.2 the Spink group reserves the right to bid on and purchase lots as principal. 4.11 The Auctioneer’s Discretion the auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again. Spink uni (07/11) (20)

4.12 Successful Bid Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, provided always that such bid is higher than the reserve (where applicable), and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller. 4.13 After Sale Arrangements if you enter into any private sale agreements for any lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s premium in accordance with these terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement. 4.14 Return of Lot once your bid has been accepted for a lot then you are liable to pay for that lot in accordance with these terms and Conditions. if there are any problems with a lot then you must notify us within 7 days of receipt of the lot, specifying the nature of the problem. we may then request that the lot is returned to us for inspection. Save as set out in clause 5.13, the cancellation of the sale of any lot and the refund of the corresponding purchase price is entirely at our sole discretion. we will not normally exercise that discretion if the lot is not received by us in the same condition that it was in at the auction date. AFTER THE AUCTION 5.1 Buyer’s Premium in addition to the Hammer price, you must pay us the Buyer’s premium at a rate of 20% of the final Hammer price of each lot. 5.2 Value Added Tax other than in respect of zero-rated lots (o) vAt is chargeable on the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium of daggered (†) and (Ω) lots at the standard rate (currently 20%), and on lots marked (x) at the reduced rate (currently 5% on the Hammer price and 20% on the Buyer’s premium). vAt on margin scheme lots (identified by the absence of any vAt symbol next to the lot number) is payable at 20% on the Buyer’s premium only. 5.3 VAT Refunds General 5.3.1 As we remain liable to account for vAt on all lots unless they have been exported outside the Eu within 3 months of the date of sale, you will generally be asked to deposit all amounts of vAt invoiced. However, if a Spink nominated shipper is instructed, then any refundable vAt will not be collected. in all other cases credits will be made when proof of export is provided. if you export the lot yourself you must obtain shipping documents from the Shipping department for which a charge of £50 will be made. 5.3.2 if you export the lot you must return the valid proof of export certificate to us within 3 months of the date of sale. if you fail to return the proof of export certificate to us within such period and you have not already accounted to us for the vAt, you will be liable to us for the full amount of the vAt due on such lot and we shall be entitled to invoice you for this sum. 5.3.3 to apply for a refund of any vAt paid, the proof of export certificate must be sent to our Shipping department clearly marked ‘vAt refund’ within 3 months of the date of sale. no payment will be made where the total amount of vAt refundable is less than £50 and Spink will charge £50 for each refund processed. VAT Refunds - Buyers from within the EU 5.3.4 vAt refunds are available on the Hammer price and Buyer’s premium of daggered (†) and investment gold (g) lots. You must certify that you are registered for vAt in another Eu country and that the lot is to be removed from the united kingdom within 3 months of the date of sale. 5.3.5 where an Eu buyer purchases a lot on which import vAt has been charged, no refund of vAt is available from us. it may be possible to apply directly for a refund on form vAt 65 to Hm revenue & Customs overeseas repayment Section, londonderry. VAT Refunds – Buyers from outside the EU 5.3.6 where a lot is included within the Auctioneers’ margin Scheme and evidence of export from the Eu is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the vAt on Buyer’s premium may be refunded. 5.3.7 where the lot is marked as a daggered (†) or investment gold (g) lot the vAt charged on the Hammer price may be refunded where evidence of export from the Eu is produced within 3 months of the date of sale. A refund of vAt charged on the Buyer’s premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer. 5.3.8 where the lot is marked as an omega (Ω) lot or an import vAt (x) lot and evidence of export from the Eu is produced within 3 months of the date of sale, the vAt charged on both the Hammer price and Buyer’s premium may be refunded. where required, we can advise you on how to export such lots as a specific form of export evidence is required. where we advise you on the export of the lots, please be aware that the ultimate responsibility in respect of obtaining a valid proof of export certificate will lie with you and we will not be responsible for your failure to obtain such certificate.

Shipments of more than 2kg or volumetric measurement of more than 2kg have to be sent by courier. Certain countries may incur extra charge when courier services are required by our insurance policy. for lots sent by courier please contact Auctionteam@spink.com for calculation of any further relevant cost in addition to the above charges. Value Added Tax (VAT) Charging of (VAT) at Auction the information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends to account for vAt. i.

Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme 1. where possible, we will offer lots for sale under the Auctioneers’ margin Scheme. Such lots can be identified by the absence of any vAt symbol next to the lot number in the catalogue and will not be subject to vAt on the Hammer price. 2. where lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ margin Scheme to vAt–registered businesses, the vAt included within the Buyers’ premium is not recoverable as input tax. upon request on sale day, we will issue invoices that show vAt separately on both the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium. this will enable vAt-registered businesses to recover the vAt charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules for recovering input tax.

ii.

Zero-Rated Lots limited Categories of goods, such as books, are zero-rated (o) for vAt in the united kingdom. Such lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ margin Scheme. in these circumstances no vAt will be added to the Buyer’s premium.

iii.

Daggered Lots lots which are daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to vAt at 20% on both the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium.

iv.

Starred and Omega Lots lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to vAt at 5% on the Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. lots which bear the omega symbol (Ω) are subject to vAt at 20% on the Hammer price and on the Buyer’s premium. Such lots bear vAt because the lot is liable for vAt at this rate on importation into the Eu.

Investment Gold Lots lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from vAt on the Hammer price and are subject to vAt at 20% on the Buyer’s premium. A refund of vAt charged on the Buyer’s premium can also be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.

vi.

Imported Lots lots which are marked (x) and lots which bear the omega symbol (Ω) have vAt charged on the Hammer price and Buyers’ premium because they have been imported into the united kingdom from outside the Eu. in these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferred until the lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the import vAt due. we will collect the vAt from you and pay it to Hm Customs and Excise on your behalf.
