QV No white lines 1st 2d. Blue letters D-E, Plate 2 strong N.W. corner star border line, a lovely deep almost deep bright-blue shade, SG QV Specialised catalogue number DS7, neatly cancelled by large part oblique black maltese cross, neat well-balanced four margin example, easily a £400 retail value however minute shallow thin to margin almost so small less than 1 mm. that few would bother to mention … reduces price in our mind to £295=. For the spectacular shade, four even margins and well-positioned black MC, easily worth it. Opportunity (1v.)
