Rare Item From Idar



Idar SG F1 on cover . Extremely rare. For a long time only one such cover was known and sold by Stanley Gibbons as unique in 1995.

The limited usage of the stamp is perhaps due to its being an intermediate / test issue. Note that all early stamps of Idar were in shades of Green and the later stamps of Idar (the postal fiscals) were all in violet. This is the only stamp having both a shade of green and a shade of violet.
