never been seen by collectors. The catalog provided gaps in the RM numbers for these missing rates, if and when they are proven to exist. Presumably these would be listed as RM477b and 484a, both are believed to be the first recorded examples of the
36c and 70c - from a recent find, and offered here for the first time (Image Magnifier)Search for comparables |
