Lot Details

Papua New Guinea 1962 5/- Patrol in bottom right corner block of 4 with �013275� sheet number in red. This was the first Australian printed multicoloured stamp prepared for release in 1962 but withdrawn before public issue because the design showed rifles being carried & this might cause a backlash considering past conflicts.
