1948 London 2nd Print Postage Due unsurcharged set of 8 (Chan 108a-115a),
all except $20 with margins, fresh MNH with pristine original gum (only hinged on margins). Very Fine in condition. This set was very rare as the entire supply from De La Rue, with the exception of a few reference sets, was surcharged with the new values due to the hyper-inflation in China at that time. This set was originally from the blocks of 4 in the Colonel Allan Kerr Collection, and was auctioned in 2003 by Zurich Asia in Hong Kong. Provenance: Colonel Allan Kerr Collection, 2003 Zurich Asia M.F. Huang Collection lot #417.
