ZANZIBAR, 1926-30, 6c Black on Orange, Postage Due (J3A; SG D4). Position R3/2, affixed to unpaid local cover with Gujrati address, uncancelled (as was the practice at the time), "T" in circle handstamp, Zanzibar backstamp

VERY FINE. A RARE USE OF THE 1926-30 6-CENT BLACK ON ORANGE POSTAGE DUE ON COVER.

The postage due stamp paid double the 3c deficiency. There are only twelve recorded copies of this stamp -- five on covers, one on a defective postcard, and six off-cover. All of the known copies on cover are uncancelled.

Ex Griffith Jones and illustrated in his book (census F.7). SG value off-cover £7,000. Scott Retail on cover
