5 c. red-brown on deeply blued paper, block of 4, nice deep colour, the lower left stamp cut into at left, otherwise clear to mostly large margins, used with 6-bar target. Top left stamp faint tear and some very faint creasing, otherwise very fine. Very rare and attractive; just 2 further blocks of 4 have been recorded of this stamp (both also with faults). (Scott 1)
