Great Britain, Scott #262 (Stanley Gibbons #489), used(o), 1941, Definitive, King George VI, Classic British Designed Stamp: image designed by Edmund Dulac in a frame designed by Eric Gill, 2½ penny, light wartime ink economy issued background, perforated: 14½x14, from a sheet, customer torn perforations on all four sides (T,T,T,T), watermarked: upright Tudor crown and GviR in reverse print and repeated in multiples (Scott watermark #251, Stanley Gibbons watermark #127), photogravure printed, ultramarine, Scott 2022 catalog value: 25¢; slightly off-centered, light, broken-up, black-inked, wavy line cancellation over the right middle of the stamp and into the main image, however, the lightness of the cancel and its broken-up effect leaves the main image somewhat clear, sound back, good perforations; image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.50 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.66 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
