Uganda 1895 (March) Wide Letters in Black, Wide Stamps The first issue was produced by the Rev. Ernest Millar, C.M.S., using his Barlock typewriter with a black ribbon. He typed nine rows across each sheet of foolscap sized sermon paper. With thirteen vertical rows, 117 stamps were obtained in each sheet. The stamps varied in width from 20mm. to 26mm. The quality of the paper often resulted in the stamps being creased before use. 10(c.) horizontal strip of four, the right stamp showing "0" corrected from "k", unused with borders or part thereof on all sides, some creasing. One of the major multiples of this issue. R.P.S. Certificate (1973). S.G. 2, £16,000+. Photo Estimate £ 15,000-20,000 Note: This is one of the very few errors known on the first issue. It is also the second largest multiple of any value of this issue. provenance: Col. J.R. Danson, May 1971 Roy Dunstan, September 1985
