Auction: 9037 - The "Pierron" Collection of British Commonwealth Missing Colours
Lot: 1516

New Zealand 1966 (5 Jan.) National Scout Jamboree 4d. with gold omitted, fine. With normal for comparison. Pierron NZ1676MCa, £1,500; C.P. S103a(Z); S.G. 838a, £1,000. Photo Estimate £ 750-950 Note: The missing gold results in the complete loss of the arrowhead. Examples completely missing gold come from a sheet with the design centring to the far left. Be wary of examples from columns two, three and four of a sheet with gold partially missing. The design centring in such cases is slightly to the right and specks of gold are visible under magnification. provenance: Sir Gawaine Baillie, February 2006
