Sale 989, Lot 196, 1922 and Later Issues22c Texas Flag and Silver Spur, Dark Blue Omitted (2204c). Right stamp in horizontal strip of four the variety, adjoining stamp with part of color missing, selvage at right, Mint N.H.

VERY FINE AND RARE. ONLY TWO EXAMPLES OF THIS VARIETY WITH THE COLOR COMPLETELY OMITTED ARE KNOWN.

The accompanying 1995 P.F. certificate for block of 50 shows that this variety comes from this position and the one beneath it (Positions 40 and 50). The three positions above these all show traces of the blue ink, and three others show partial but significant printing of the blue (one is the third stamp in this strip). None of these qualify as the variety.

With 1995 P.F. certificate.
