GIBRALTAR 1889 SG21a Mint 75c on 1s bistre variety "5" with short foot digital-edition example lettered MJ1889 75c on 1s bistre, horizontal strip of three from foot of sheet with plate number "1", the centre stamp showing "5" with short foot (R10 2), fine large part o. g. (normal stamps unmounted). Very scarce. Only 107 sheets of 120 issued. [N. B.
