Ceylon 1889 Revenue

  • Description

    Judicial: 1889 500r Lilac, opt 'JUDICIAL' Type J4 in red, very fine used, cancelled by punch (as almost always) and neat ms initials and dated '10.10.06'. A few shortish perfs, still a very fine example of this great rarity, which along with the 1000r from the same set were the only two issued revenue stamps of Ceylon which had not been seen by Crofton and Jones, who stated 'The two highest values are not known in collections'. A wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the rarest revenues of the entire British Commonwealth.
