In the second link you can see the 30c inverted. Could you post a nice pic of the stamp alone so we can see the details? If it's genuine it is RRR.……… Some Wise guy has made replicas already….  |

British East Africa is one of my four primary collecting areas. B.E.A. is the only Stanley Gibbons catalog that I own. Gibbons reports that only one copy of the 5 cent inverted dam has been found; and only two of the 30 cent. All are used.
I have sheets of 50 of each value, but with no selvage at the bottom, meaning my sheets were once part of a larger sheet. It is possible there may be other copies "out there." |

Sheets of 50 mint of each value? If authentic O.M.G.
The one shown by "same" is used. If genuine it may be the fourth recorded if genuine unless it is one of the ones previously recorded. Time for more checking and probably a cert. |

My Stanley Gibbons Catalogue - 2013 version lists both the 5c and 30c inverted. The 30c version catalogs at £27,000 in used condition, which is the only way it has been found. Nice find. |

I concur, something is going on This white space is not on the other copies.  Real one  If there was only one sheet, I would assume that the registration would be close to the same across all stamps. |

We know the dam portion in black was printed after in the white window. If the "same" stamp was genuine the white portion would be above and not below.That means the forger inverted more than he should of.Thus betraying himself. One of the genuine stamps below showing the excedent white portion.  |
