Bonjour à tous,

Je suis en possession d'un timbre Royaume Unis?

Il s"agit du n° YT 1077, mais le mien est non dentelé en bas.

Je ne le trouve pas sous Colnect. Existe t'il vraiment ou s'agit il du 1077 abimé.

Merci.

Michel.

I have checked the Michel Britain Specialized which lists all booklet stamps that were purposely issued with imperforate sides, and the 17p Mi 948/Yt 1077 was NOT issued in such a format.

It was issued in booklets, but the stamps within the booklets were issued with perforations on all sides.

However, during the production of the booklets the separating machines that made the larger panes into booklet panes may have been misaligned, removing perforations from one side (usually a top or bottom) - this is common the many British booklet stamps, but because the issues were meant to have been perforated on all sides, they are not listed separately in any of the published catalogued.

So what you have is just a poorly produced booklet pane stamp, not an actual variety designed to be imperforate on one side.
