$5.00 1972 Hunting Permit, Plate Proof on Stamp Paper (RW39P5). Slightly disturbed original gum as with all the examples of the stamp paper proofs we have encountered, large margins, vivid colors

EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE PLATE PROOF OF THE 1972 FEDERAL HUNTING PERMIT ISSUE, SCOTT RW39.

The Federal Hunting Permit plate proofs on gummed stamp paper are listed in Scott beginning with the 1959 Issue, and continue through 1983. While they catalogue less than the earlier small die proofs, they are just as elusive and the examples offered in this sale are the only we have offered.

Accompanied by a beautiful full-page colored remarque by famed wildlife artist Ron Jenkins (the artist for the 1965 issue, RW32), with central mount for the proof (see linked PDF). With 2008 P.F. certificate.
