Swaziland Inverted Plate Number





Situated under stamp 59 this item shows the Plate Number 1 inverted. I have seen one other occurrence of this on an Ascension Duty, again a De La Rue printing,

This particular Swaziland duty is the 1943 issue perforated 13.5 x 14 and was purchased at the 2000 Summer York Stamp Fair.
