CHINA, People's Republic, Liberated Areas, Chinese Soviet Northwest Area (Shansi), 1935, 8f Dark Blue on Thin Laid Paper (Yang CS4). Without gum as issued (small paper h.r.), huge to large margins all around including sheet-margin at left, bold impression, small crease entirely in margin at bottom rightVERY FINE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1935 CHINESE SOVIET NORTHWEST AREA 8-FEN DARK BLUE ON THIN LAID PAPER. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT STAMPS OF THE LIBERATED AREAS TO FIND AND MISSING FROM NEARLY EVERY COLLECTION.
After a thorough review of Liberated Area collections that have come to the market, we could only locate one other example - roughly separated and with a small tear. That example realized HK$290,000 in a 2017 Hong Kong auction.
With 2018 Experts & Consultants certificate.
