1942 Bantam War Effort 2d Sailor violet DRAMATICALLY MISPERFORATED (SG 100var). VF/UM top marginal block (mount in top margin only) of six (three units) with horizontal PERFORATION MISALIGNMENT UPWARDS, UHB V12. Misperforation also through slogans in top margin. Lovely presentation, very scarce. Apparently these stamps come from the original 24 consecutive panes purchased at a Witwatersrand post office in 1945. Sheets 1 to 5 showed the perforation moving progressively up. Sheet 6 perforations were through the middle of the stamp. Sheets 7 to 10 were completely blank of any printing (albino). Sheets 12 to 23 had perforations moving progressively downwards to normal.
