Exciting lot of the 1934 'Third issue' set in complete sheets of 12 on thick or thin toned native paper, each carefully identified for the plate setting. The 1/2t yellow sheet is from Setting IVc, 2/3t blue is from Setting III (with a Sergio Sismondo certificate for a DIFFERENT sheet), 1t reddish vermilion is from Setting IV (privately perforated with Geoffrey Flack certificate), 2t in a faded orange vermilion colour from Setting IIa (not certified) and the 4t green from Setting II with substituted cliche at position 12 (measuring 25mm x 25mm) expertised twice, signed on front by Tibet expert Kurt H. Dahnke and with 5 backstamps by Tibet expert Dr. F. Alfred Orth. Also includes incredibly detailed colour copies of sheets and individual cliches for the majority of the sheets in this lot, with still more room for research. 2022 Scott US$905 =
