 Thought some members might be interested in this set of the George V definitives of 1915. These are the two-perf pairs. Top stamp perf 14 x 13 1/4; bottom stamp 14 x 14 1/4. These pairs resulted from two perforating machines being used to perforate the same sheets. These pairs can also be found in some of the Edward VIII stamps of the 1909 series. |

Because NZ governed Samoa under League of Nations Mandate from 1919 when Germany forfeited her colonies by the Treaty of Versailles following WWI , the same stamps also occur overprinted SAMOA. Used pairs are difficult to obtain.
I have managed to gather several of these but there are one or two values I still need used.
I believe the pairs occur across the middle two rows of the sheet.
