1876 6a olive-bistre and 12a Venetian red (x2) with DLR "CANCELLED"
opt (Samuel type 9 - 17.25x1.75mm), fresh large part o.g. or
without gum (one 12a). A rare and very interesting trio, with the
two 12a exhibiting opts of a different character. ["Type 9" was
used for colour standards over a long period, c.1856-92, but there
seem to be two or more variants. Samuel describes it as typeset,
but the majority of examples, like this 6a and the 12a without gum,
are actually handstamped. The 12a with gum, by contrast, is
typeset, with an opt fractionally longer and taller than the
others, the "A" being more open.]

which saw only occasional use for "colour standard" examples
c.1865-82. A highly desirable trio, not previously seen by us, and
in exceptional condition

1865 ½a blue, 1a brown, 2a yellow, wmk Elephant's head, each with
small DLR sans-serif "SPECIMEN" opt (Samuel type 8 - 14x2mm), part
o.g. (except ½a without gum). A rare type of opt, which saw only
sporadic use c.1856-87, recorded by Samuel on just four values of
the 1865 set (the other being the 8p), with no example offered by
us in the past 20 years. The ½a and 2a with trivial corner
blemishes, still most attractive and desirable, with very fresh
colours. [Other stamps known with this opt include the unissued
1856-64 2a green (imperf, as SG 50a, and the Telegraph 1869-78 (?)
and 1890-91 sets to 50r, so Samuel's slight reservations as to its
status are without justification. The Domingo collection included
the 1882-90 1a to 1r with this opt, ex Ulrich.]
