This is mint sheet ajm-1972-c1-03 printed on pink paper and imperforate. It is unclear if there is an ajm-19710000-s-04 in imperforate form. The Michel catalog lists #2743 as a smaller size stamp of Michel #2727A. The Michel catalog does list a #2727B as an imperforate version of the large form stamp but there is no mention of a #2743B for the small form stamp.

Ajman (1964-72)
Stamp-issuing status: inactive; Population: 4,400. One of the Trucial States in eastern Arabia. A sheikhdom under British protection from 1892-1971, Ajman joined the independent United Arab Emirates on Dec. 2, 1971. During 1964-71, Ajman issued 6,000-7,000 different stamps, all designed with worldwide collectors in mind. UAE issues replaced those of Ajman in 1972. Subsequent Ajman issues came onto the philatelic market after 1972, but these were not recognized as valid by the government.
