PAKISTAN 1948-56 'Khyber Pass" set of proofs, SG41/3Pakistan 1948 56 type 13 'Khyber Pass' 10r magenta, 15r blue green, 25r violet, each in an IMPERFORATE horizontal pair, SG41 3. Very fine unmounted mint pairs with full original gum. The 15r has a trivial marginal scissor cut. The 25r is from the left corner of the printing sheet. A wonderful presentation of the complete set in this design and unique in this form. The Khyber Pass pictorial stamps were part of the issue of the first definitive stamps
