VERY FINE. AN EXTRAORDINARY AND LIKELY UNIQUE SET OF SURCHARGE MARK VALUES FROM THE LATE SETTING ON ONE PIECE. ONE OF THE GREAT SHOWPIECE RARITIES OF NEW BRITAIN.

The surcharge on these four stamps was applied by the same device, with the value changed as needed. They all show identical flaws in the "R".
