Seller: wildsika ✉️ (1,428) 100%, Location: Pershore, Worcs., GB, Ships to: GB, Item: 335316140396 PAIR OF PENNY REDS Pl. 83 RE-ENTRY TL SG 43 f ON COVER. This cover, which is part of an insurance document, was posted from Cheltenham to London dated 16th July, 1865, requiring a pair of 1d reds.  They are from plate 83 with letters in all four corners TK and TL.  The TL stamp is listed in Stanley Gibbons G.B. Volume 1 Specialised Stamp Catalogue as "One Penny, Type G1".... "Re-entries are very few, the best being MK and TK of Plate 71;  SL and TL of Plate 83 are also noteworthy.  Considering the number of plate varieties are remarkably few....  Fresh entries i.e. repaired impressions made prior to the 'put-to-press' date exist on plates 71 and 83".  The left hand stamp of the pair is franked by a Cheltenham 177 duplex dated JY 16 65 and the right hand stamp appears to have been franked by an 1844 oval (possibly twice) as there is no dated circle attached to the right hand stamp frank.  There is a red London JY 17 65 receiving mark on the reverse.  There are two small tears on the right hand and bottom edges of the letter as can be seen in the photographs.This item came in an album I bought from a stamp dealer friend who was King Farouk's philatelist before he fled and came to Britain when there were troubles in Egypt.
