Here is a Great Britain 1862 4d with a Malta cancel:  Looks to me to be a Plate 3, yes? If I'm reading Gibbons correctly, that would make it Malta #Z48, I believe. Anyone have a different opinion? The underlying stamp comes in bright red and pale red, SG79 and SG80, respectively. |

The underlying stamp comes in bright red and pale red, SG79 and SG80, respectively. May we request full identification, please? Wmk? Established Perforation? ID Process: Small white corner letters = 4d red (looks vermilion to me) SG79 August 1862 P14 Wmk Large Garter Wmk17 (SG) Plate 3= No hair lines, roman figure 1 adjacent lower corner letters (looks like 3 dots to me) That leaves SG 79 Bright red or SG80 pale red So yes has to be Z48 plate 3 (choose your colour) |
