German Empire stamps used in the Deutsche Neu Guinea (DNG) / German New Guinea colony as Vorlaufer / forerunners with FINSCHHAFEN cancel. '15 CV EUR2200++ (as four singles) -- a very scarce block of four usage. The accompanying certificate notes that the upper right stamp has the rare variety 'missing corner ornament', Michel V44 IV (EUR1000) and notes that the 'clear cancels make this Block a desirable Liebhaberstueck' (LP!).
