Certs Eichhorn BPP and Sawa of the Japanese Philatelic Federation.

WORLD CLASS EXHIBITION RARITY
A Sensational Discovery! This find is a real story about a collector´s dream. A Sandinavian collector bought a large collection at a European auction house and when he sorted it out he put this stamp aside for future examination. It was forgotten for some time, but when getting to it, he started to realize the magnitude of it. However, still doubting and suspecting the stamp possibly not being genuine, he had to wait for further examinations by specialists. The result you can see here, he became the lucky finder of one of the great rarities of Japanese philately.
