1962 5d John McDouall Stuart presentation die proof in issued colour in sunken frame with Note Printing Branch cachet on reverse endorsed '28.3.62/2' (for C.W. Davidson, Postmaster-General), badly stained by sellotape used for mounting proof, also with original envelope which contained the proof. Note that we have never seen a pristine example of this proof, all are apparently stained to some degree by the sellotape. Ten die proofs were prepared, one of which is in the Royal Collection.
