As can clearly be seen this stamp, 1949 charcoal, has not being used with this particular overprint. As can also be seen from the Handbook catalogue this stamp is indeed 44Ha.
According to me, this stamp is unique as it has not been catalogued therefore this is the price I am willing to sell this item, of course there may be other copies hidden somewhere which is why I have a question mark on my ad.............notwithstanding due to the scarcity of this item this is my selling price.
