AUSTRALIA. GV 1914. 4d Orange Roo with small OS, CDS used. SGO21. Cat £120.

Description: AUSTRALIA. GV 1914. 4d Orange Roo with small OS, CDS used. SGO21. Cat £120. Decent used 1st watermark 'Roos are hard to come by. They are mostly often toned, or badly centred, or have shocking perfs...or all three! The 1913 (1st watermark) Kangaroo stamps used a horizontal grained, long fibre paper, which was quickly abandoned after a year or two of use. Consequently, due to the tough fibres not tearing apart easily, most 1913 'Roos have one or more perfs torn out - or very short perfs on either or both sides. If you try to carefully tear apart a pair of cheaper 1st 'Roos - you may rip out some perfs! Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE This one is almost perfectly centred and the perfs look ok - with a few flatter ones. The 1st watermark can be seen clearly on the reverse image. There is a tiny fault on the reverse near the NE corner, but in no way does this detract form the appearance of the stamp. Overall, a decent example of this rare official stamp. No thins or toning.
