1878 Thin Paper Large Dragon imperf plate proof block of 4 set with margin or corner margin, with extra circle near left claw removed. Lightly hinged. 5ca block repaired by tape on reverse. When the die of Large Dragon was produced, there were 3 and a half circle at the bottom left dragon claw on 1ca while 3 circles for 3ca and 5ca. However, the middle circle was removed before printing. Therefore, die proof and plate proof can be distinguished by the number of circles.

1882 Tientsin (14 Jul) to the Peking Office of the Viceroy of Chihli. Red band cover, f.w. Large Dragon wide margin 3ca brown red (setting VI or VII) + 5ca pale yellow-ochre in horizontal strip of 4 (setting III, pos. 6-20-13-14) and 5 (full row of 7-5-4-12-8) on reverse, 16 times base rate, tied by multiple oval Tientsin type 1 seal, showing “Customs/Tientsin” double-ring d.s. and framed Chinese datestamp of the Tientsin Customs. Very fine and an exceptional internal franking, only one other cover has been recorded with as many examples of the wide margin 5candarins. A wonderful exhibition item of the highest calibre. Opened out for display. Note: There are approximately 8-10 covers recorded from the “Po Shu Ta Chu” (Post Office), which had taken over the functions of the defunct Hwa Yang Shu Hsin Kuan following its closure in 1882. The majority of covers known are either from the Starr collection or in the Chinese National Postage Stamp Museum. Since the “Po Shu Ta Chu” operated under the direct management of the Tientsin Customs, their mail had stamps affixed. All these covers were between July-December, 1882. Provenance: Starr (Sotheby’s, 12-13 September 1991, ot 303, realized GBP40,700). Siegel Auctions, 23 April 1996, lot 31. Illustrated as plate 147 on p. 253-254 in “A Comprehensive Illustration on Covers of Chinese Large Dragons” by James B. Whang. Cf. Lisa and Sven Beckeman, “Large Dragons on Red Band Covers, Journal of Chinese Philately, No. 280, Vol. 39, No.5, pp. 113-115 Holcombe believed it is genuine, with his 1996 certificate and two-page opinion. RPSL certificate of 2004 stated that “stamps show evidence of being attached to cover subsequent to posting and did not originate on cover”. Photocopies of the certificates are attached. As expert opinions are divided, buyers should exercise caution. We would not be in position to assist in obtaining further certificates nor accept return and refund for this lot.
