China, 1882, Large Dragon (wide margins), 5ca yellow ocher, thin paper, variety with heavy inking creating a half smeared left eye, also blurred printing of “Ching” and “Yau” characters; the top loop of “S” was also clouted as well as a heavy left side of “H”, and there is also an additional dash in lower left box just above 5. Overall a pretty clear variety which no one has reported, without gum; tiny tear at the second perf from lower left and slight toning around perfs, otherwise Very Fine, a rare stamp and an unreported variety.
