fine/very fine used singles of the 1/2d - 1/- deep green - pale mauve from the 1897-1908 4th Sideface Issue, line & comb perfs 12.5 & 13.
The line perf printings are considerably scarcer than the comb perfs, because the line perforation machines were only used to finish perforating during breakdowns of the comb machines.
