VF used example of the 1862 issue 5c dark brown "Seated Helvetia" on white paper, perf 11½ x 11½, showing a strong example of the Scott Classic and Zumstein listed "Double transfer, one inverted". A very rare and well known classic Swiss variety. The consignor originally identified this as 43d, but one of our knowledgeable (and very helpful) Swiss specialist clients correctly recognized it as #43c. Still a very rare and well-known classic Swiss variety. 2021 Scott Classic US$470.00=
