A well centered and very fine NH unfolded warning strip from the left side of the sheet, of the 1c orange Sir John A. Macdonald stamp from the 1973-1977 Caricature Issue. Printed horizontal wove paper showing clear horizontal ribbing on the face and giving the following reactions under UV light:

  • On the Front: Non-fluorescent greyish.
  • On the Back: Low fluorescent bluish white.

General OP-2 Ottawa tagging, 4 mm wide, of moderate strength (clearly visible to the naked eye, but not dark), and glowing deep bright yellow under ultraviolet light. Comb perforated 12.0 x 12.5. Smooth, creamy PVA gum with a satin sheen. Unitrade lists the horizontal ribbed paper as being DF/LF, which does exist, but this is clearly NF on the face, which is not listed. The more common DF/LF paper lists a VF-75 NH warning strip at $12. The strip offered here grades 80 as follows:

Margins/centering: 50/70 Paper freshness: 5/5 Colour: 5/5 Impression: 5/5 Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5 Perforations: 10/10 Note: the above scan is a stock photo as are all my scans for material after 1952.The item (s) you will receive has (have) been carefully checked to adhere to the above grading standards, so while it (they) may not be exactly the same, it (they) will be of the same quality. Also, I do not provide back scans of NH stamps or blocks after 1952 unless they are required to illustrate some attribute of the paper or gum.
