Miscellaneous for sale: PSB definitive panes, presentation pack error, facsimile pack

There's not a great deal of news at present, so I am digging out some unusual items (mostly one-off) from my boxes to offer here rather than going to the trouble of adding them to the online shop.  Postage is extra and depends on destination.  

Firstly I have I've a few spare definitive panes from recent Prestige Stamp Books so I'm offering them here first rather than sending them back to Tallents House for refund.

Some are not in the latest Concise catalogue so I have guessed the catalogue numbers for those. (Note none of these have the stitching holes at left.)

Only one of each apart from D&D pane for which we have 3.  

All PSB panes now sold.  More to come, but not recent definitive.

1. Dungeons & Dragons SG V5270l - 2p, 50p, £1x2 M24L 

2. Valour & Victory SG V5277l (?) -  20p & two each 50p & £1 M25L 

3. Churchill SG V5280l - two each 50p & £1 M24L - 

4. Royal Armouries SG V5280m -  two each 50p & £1 M24L - 

5. Royal Observatory Greenwich SG V5280n(?) - 2 each 50p & 2nd class M25L 

Other offers

6. 2016 Great War Presentation Pack error - withdrawn from Post Offices - see blog.

I have a single copy of the Presenation Pack that was withdrawn because of an embarrassing error not on the stamps but on the miniature sheet holder.  On the left, the first paragraph refers to Sergeant Albert Knight - his name was Alfred!

Price of pack with error £35 - or with correct version, £50 (retail for the error alone is nearly £50).

  That's all for now

 

Process:

1. Please check the comments to make sure what you want is still available. 

2. Then leave a comment with which one(s) you want to buy, then email for payment details to ian-at-norphil.co.uk - and let me know where you live!  (Postage will depend on UK or international.)

3. I'll reply same day if possible, and will show which ones are sold as soon as I can.

Posting will normally be on Tuesdays or Fridays.

150th Anniversary of the Birth of Bertram Mackennal commemorative sheet and Seahorses facsimile pack

This year marks the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, KCVO, the Australian sculptor famous for designing the stamps and coinage bearing the likeness of King George V.  A Commemorative Sheet to be issued on 19 September 2013 explores his life and work.
Royal Mail product codes are shown below but these are not yet available to order on Royal Mail's website and probably not by telephone either.  I suppose there should be some available at Stampex as that is when they are being issued. 

Priced at £14.95 the sheet contains 10 x self-adhesive 1st class 'Royal Mail Seal' stamps and the labels include the ½d and 1d profile stamps, and the 5 shillings Seahorse, as well as some coins or medals.   Royal Mail Philatelic Product Code - AV025

Also on sale (not at most Post Offices) will be a Seahorses Facsimile Pack (at £8.95) and a press sheet of the facsimile sheet at £59.95.  Neither of these products is postally valid.

The Seahorses Facsimile Press Sheet consists of 12 blocks of four of the facsimiles with a specially designed border. True to the design and production values of the time, this limited edition product of 150 has also been numbered by hand.  (click on to see larger)

Quality reproduction of PUC £1 !

These are scans of the PUC £1 facsimiles.  The printing on the reverse is over the whole block, so the GvR cypher is in the centre of the block.  I'm impressed!
