Re: Q V Penny reds on scottish cover

GOOD EVENING AB 1961 That is a great bit of detective work. Just an Edinburgh MX is good news.

I would always hold onto a nice pair of Red Stars like the...

SOLD Penny Red SG 29 block of 4

This is from an early printing, red-brown on blued paper, plate 32. 'BH' does NOT have the later constant flaw "gash on forehead".
Is this block is of interest to a specialised Penny Red collector who has the later printing(s), with the Flaw? The price is £20.

Q V Penny reds on scottish cover

Can you please identify the Maltese crosses on this cover? As it is from Banff, I wondered if these crosses were of special interest. I have just bought the cover at a Stockport fair where there is a good attendance of dealers, monthly.,usually on the last Tuesday.
Thank you.

Scottish Maltese cross on pair of Penny reds

This vertical pair of Penny Reds on cover was bought by me recently up here in Stockport. With the Banff back stamp I would like to hear if this is a known Maltese Cross please. Or perhaps is it another known Maltese Cross?
