1904, "I Gildi / 02-03", UPU Reprints with ‘Large Crown’ watermark, complete set of 18 including the seven Official stamps, very fine and fresh, unmounted mint. Very rare (Facit = 14'000 Skr.).

Note: The despatch of this new issue to the UPU Headquarters in Bern had been overlooked. By the time the P.O. was alerted to this, supplies of the issue had been exhausted. Denmark reprinted the issue with the new watermark and the stamps were sent to Iceland to be overprinted and thereafter forwarded to the UPU. 

Provenance: ‘Severin’ (Corinphila 2012)
