Description:

123veb Comb Perf 5d yellow-brown with Major Damage to Upper-Right Corner & Nick in Upper-Left Corner + ½d green on 1920 double-rate cover to the USA with 'KAPUNDA' (SA) cds that intrudes slightly on the affected area at upper-right. This variety is not illustrated in the ACSC. Their illustrations of the four recorded states of the 've' variety are so similar we actually query if they are accurate & if what we have here is, in fact, one of the listed states. Whatever the case, this is a major variety and, as such, an extremely rare usage on cover. [The rate was 2½d x2 + ½d War Tax]
