This is a proof created by Stephen Smith for his second experiment in the second series of Sikkim experiments in September 1935. The "livestock" rocket stamp was used on covers sent in rocket number 84. This proof was created in black on salmon pink paper. The "parcel" overprint was as on the final version of the rocket stamp which was printed in blue on white paper. There is a slight vertical bend, less than a crease and it does ot show on the scan. PLease contact me with any queries.

POSTAGE AND TERMS OF BUSINESS
Postage is £7.95 for special delivery to UK addresses, £8.15 to overseas addresses for tracked air mail.
COMBINED PURCHASE
I will combine postage on multiple purchases. If bidding on items finishing on different days, please let me know to avoid any misunderstandings over invoicing.
VAT
Ebay sometimes adds VAT to invoices for buyers from Europe, Australia and some parts of the USA. I am not registered for VAT and do not have to charge it, so this is nothing to do with me and I have no control over it. If the addition of VAT makes a purchase unviable, please let me know and I will cancel the ransaction for you.
