This short lived commemorative issue has a fairly good range of shades that mirror those that are found on the 3c Admiral, as it was printed at the same time. The range is far greater than just the two found in Unitrade. While there are some printed in shades of pure brown, most are variations of olive brown and yellow brown. I have not yet found any, but I suspect that it should be possible to find plate varieties and some re-entries on this stamp.
