Our Birthday
It is part of philatelic folklore that in 1856 a young
bank clerk named Edward Stanley Gibbons, was asked
by his father to serve as an apprentice to him at his
chemist's shop in Plymouth. The young Gibbons was
already a keen stamp coliector; no doubt attracted by
the early adhesives he was seeing, coming in on the
maii to the bank, which had a number of seming naval
officers among its clients.
Edward Stanley is believed to have agreed to his
father's proposal on the understanding that he could
establish a business within the shop, buying and
selling stamps. His father agreed and the rest, as they
say, is history.
2006 is the 150th anniversary of E.S. Gibbons,
later Stanley Gibbons, and that century and a half
have seen changes of fortune, both for the hobby
of stamp collecting and for the company which still
carries its founder's name. However, as we approach
our fourth half-centuiy both hobby and company are
lookmg forward to a brighter future than has been
the case these many years; a future which in many
ways is reflected by the information carried within
this catalowe.

e r snotice one or two further changes
of stylina since the 2005 edition. The benefits of these
chkges should manifest themselves in future editions,
giving greater editorial contro1 and allowing for even
later price adjustments, ensuring that the catalogue
accuratelyreflects the true state of the current market.
On the negative side, any change requires extra care to
ensure that mistakes do not creep on. This care is, of
course, an important part of the catalogue production
process, but we request the continued indulgence
of collectors in these times of change and welcome
notification of anv adiustmentswhichneed to be made.

department at Spink for their help in providing irnages
for some of the rarities which have passed through
their hands in recent m&.
Alongside this catalogue,we have made significant
progress over the past year in the publication of
catalogues in the Cornmonwealth Country series,
listing the stamps of single countries or groups of
related countries from SG1 to date. As we go to press,
ten of these catalogues have already been published
with more in production.As a general Commonwealth
coilector myself, I have every sympathy for the
collector who would liie to have one catalogue
covering the entire Commonwealth from 1840 to the
present day. Unfortunately though, it seems that the
majorily of regular catalogue purchasers now restrict
themselves to one period or group of countries, making
the present arrangement much more popular than a
large, combined catalogue. We will therefore continue
to add to the list of titles in the Commonwealth
Country series, bringing out new editions of some of
the earlier titles in order to keep collectors up to date
with new issues and prices of post-1952 material.
Just as we continue to welcome information relating
to this volume, therefore, we are keen to receive
details of unlisted post-1952 issues which will now
be considered for incorporation in the next edition of
the relevant catalogue in the Commonwealth Country
series.
In that series, countries are listed according to their
current names, but in this volume we continue to list
them under the narnes current in 1952. Thus, British
Solomon Islands is used rather than Solomon Islands
and Virgin Islands, rather than British Vigin Islands.
Colonies that amalgamated into larger temtories or
dominions are grouped together before the united
country, while dependent territories appear after the
main listings. Thus the Australian states appear before
Australia itself, with Nauru, New Gumea and Papua
after it.

General Philatelic Information and Guidlines
Genera1 Philatelic Information and Guidelines to the
Scope of Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth Catalogues
The notes which follow seek to reflect current practice
in compiling the Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth
Catalogues.
It scarcely needs emphasising that the Stanley
Gibbons Stamp Catalogue has a very long history
and that the vast quantity of information it contains
has been carefully built up by successive generations
through the work of countless individuals. Philately
is never static and the Catalogue has evolved and
developed over the years. These notes relate to the
current criteria upon which a stamp may be listed or
priced. It should be recognised that these criteria have
developed over time and may have differed somewhat
in the early years of this catalogue. These notes are not
intended to suggest that we plan to make wholesale
changes to the listing of classic issues in order to bring
them into line with today's listing policy, they are
designed to inform catalogue users as to the policies
currently in operation.
PRICES
The pnces quoted in this Catalogue are the estirnated
selling pnces of Stanley Gibbons Ltd at the tnne of
publication. They are, unless it is specifically stated
othenvise, for examples in fine condition for the issue
concemed. Superb examples are worth more; those of
a lower quality considerably less.
All prices are subject to change without prior notice
and Stanley Gibbons Ltd may from time to t m e offer
stamps below catalogue price. Individua1 low value
stamps sold at 399 Strand are liable to an additional
handling charge. Purchasers of new issues are asked
to note the prices charged for them contain an element
for the service rendered and so may exceed the pnces
shown when the stamps are subsequently catalogued.
Postage and handling charges are extra.
No guarantee is given to supply al1 stamps priced,
since it is not possible to keep every catalogued item
in stock. Commemorative issues may, at times, only
be available in complete sets and not as individual
values.
Quotation of prices. The prices in the left-hand
column are for unused stamps and those in the right-
hand column are for used.
A dagger (t)denotes that the item listed does not
exist in that condition and a blank, or dash, that it exists,
or may exist, but we are unable to quote a price.
Prices are expressed in pounds and pence sterling.
One pound compnses 100 pence (£1 = 100p).
The method of notation is as follows: pence in
numerals (e.g. 10 denotes ten pence); pounds and
pence, up to £100, in numerals (e.g. 4.25 denotes four
pounds and twenty-five pence); pnces above £100 are
expressed in whole pounds with the '£' sign shown.
Unused stamps. Great Britain and Commonwealth:
the pnces for unused stamps of Queen Victoria to King
George V are for lightly hinged examples. Unused
prices for King Edward Viii and King George VI
issues are for unmounted mint.
Some stamps from the King George VI period are
often difficult to h d in unmounted mint condition. In
such instances we would expect that collectors would
need to pay a high proportion of the price quoted to
obtain mounted mint examples. Generally speaking
lightly mounted mint stamps from this reign, issued
before 1945, are in considerable demand.
Used stamps. The used pnces are normally for
stamps postally used but rnay be for stamps cancelled-
to-order where this practice exists.
A oen-cancellation on earlv issues can sometimes
corkctly denote postal use. 1istances are individually
noted in the Catalogue in explanation of the used
price given.
Prices quoted for bisects on cover or large piece are
for those dated dunng the period officially authorised.
Stamps not sold unused to the public (e.g. some
official stamps) are priced used only.
The use of 'unified' designs, that is stamps inscribed
for both postal and fiscal purposes, results in a number
of stamps of very high face value. In some instances
these may not have been p k a r i l y intended for postal
purposes, but if they are so inscnbed we include them.
We only price such items used, however, where there
is evidence of normal postal usage.
Cover prices. To assist collectors, cover pnces are
quoted for issues up to 1945 at the beginning of each
country.
The system gives a general guide in the form of a
factor by whch the corresponding used price of the
basic loose stamp should be multiplied when found in
fine average condition on cover.
Care is needed in applying the factors and
they relate to a cover which bears a single of the
denomination listed; if more than one denomination
is present the most highly priced attracts the multiplier
and the remainder are priced at the simple figure for
used singles in aniving at a total.
The cover should be of non-phlatelic origin; bear-
ing the correct postal rate for the period and distance
involved and cancelled with the markings normal to
the offices concemed. Purely philatelic items have a
cover value only slightly greater than the catalogue
value for the corresponding used stamps. This applies
generally to those high-value stamps used philatelic-
ally rather than in the normal course of commerce.
Low-value stamps, e.g. %d. and %d., are desirable
when used as a single rate on cover and merit an
increase in 'multiplier' value.
First day covers in the period up to 1945 are not
within the scope of the system and the multiplier
should not be used, As a special category of philatelic
usage, with wide variations in valuation according to
scarcity, they require separate treatment.
Oversized covers, difficult to accommodate on an
album page, should be reckoned as worth little more
than the corresponding value of the used stamps. The
condition of a cover also affects its value. Except
for 'wreck covers', serious damage or soiling reduce
the value where the postal markings and stamps are
ordinary ones. Conversely, visual appeal adds to the
value and this can include freshness of appearance,
important addresses, old-fashioned but legible hand-
writing, hstoric town-names, etc.
The multipliers are a base on which further value
would be added to take account of the cover's postal
histoncal importance in demonstrating such things
as unusual, scarce or emergency cancels, interesting
routes, significant postal markings, combination
usage, the development of postal rates, and so on.
Minimum price. The minimum catalogue pnce
quoted is 10p. For individual stamps prices between
10p. and 95p. are provided as a guide for catalogue
users. The lowest price charged for individual stamps
or sets purchased from Stanley Gibbons Ltd is £1
Set prices. Set prices are generally for one of each
value, excluding shades and varieties, but including
major colour changes. Where there are altemative
shades, etc., the cheapest is usually included. The
number of stamps in the set is always stated for clarity.
The mint pnces for sets contamingse-tenant pieces are
based on the pnces quoted for such combinations, and
not on those for the individual stamps.
Varieties. Where plate or cylinder varieties are
priced in a used condition the price quoted is for a
fine used example with the cancellation well clear of
the listed flaw.
Specimen stamps. The pricing of these items 1s
explained under that heading.
Stamp booklets. Prices are for complete assembled
bookiets in fine condition with those issued before
1945 showing normal wear and tear. Incomplete
- .. - .,
booklets and those which have been 'exploded' will,
in general, be worth less than the figure quoted.
Repricing. Collectors will be aware that the market
factors of supply and demand directly infiuence the
pnces quoted in this Catalogue. Whatever the scarcity
of a particular stamp, if there is no one in the market
who wishes to buy it cannot be expected to achieve
a high pnce. Conversely, the same item actively
sought by numerous potential buyers may cause the
price to rise.
Al1 the prices in this Catalogue are examined during
the preparation of each new edition by the expert staff
of Stanley Gibbons and repriced as necessary. They
take many factors into account, including supply and
demand, and are in close touch with the intemational
stamp market and the auction world.

CONDITION GUIDE
To assist collectors in assessing the tnie value of items
they are considering buying or in reviewing stamps
already in their collections, we now offer a more
detailed guide to the condition of stamps on which
this catalogue's prices are based.
For a stamp to be described as 'Fine', it should be
sound in al1respects, without creases, bends, wrinkles,
pin holes, thins or tears. If perforated, all perforation
'teeth' should be intact, it should not s a e r from fad-
ing, rubbing or toning and it should be of clean, fresh
appearance.
Marqins on imperforate stamps: These should be
even-on all sidesand should be ai least as wide & half
the distante between that stamp and the next. To have
one or more margins of less than this width, would
normally preclude a stamp from being described as
'Fine'. It should be remembered that some early stamps
were positionedvery close together on the printing plate
and m such cases 'Fine' margins would necessarily be
narrow. On the other hand, some plates were laid down
to give a subsiantial gap between individual stamps
and in such cases margins would be expected to be
much wider.
An 'average' four-margin example would have a
narrower margin on one or more sides and should be
priced accordingly,while a stamp with wider, yet even,
margins than 'Fine' would ment the description 'Very
Fine' or 'Superb' and, if available, would command a
price in excess of that quoted in the catalogue.
Gum: Since the prices for stamps of King Edward
WI, and King George VI are for 'unmounted' or
'never hinged' mint, it should be anticipated that
even stamps from these reigns which have been very
 Genera1 Philatelic Information and Guidlines
lightly mounted should be available at a discount fiom
catalogue price, the more obvious the hinge marks, the
greater the discount.
Catalogue pnces for stamps issued prior to
King Edward W ' s reign are for mounted mint, so
unmounted examples would be worth a premium.
Hinge marks on 20th century stamps should not be too
obtrusive, and should be at least in the lightly mounted
category. Por 19th century stamps more obvious hing-
ing would be acceptable,but stamps should stiii carry a
large part of their origina1 g u m ' l a r g e part 0.g.'-in
order to be described as 'Fine'.
Centring: Ideally, the stamp's nnage should appear in
the exact centre of the perforated area, giving equa1
margins on all sides. 'Fine' centring would be close to
this idea1 with any deviation having an effect on the
value of the stamp. As in the case of the margins on
imperforate stamps, it should be bome in mind that
the space between some early stamps was very narrow,
so it was very diflicult to achieve accurate perforation,
especially when the technology was in its infancy.
Thus, poor centring would have a less damaging effect
on the value of a 19th century stamp than on a 20th
century example, but the premium put on a perfectly
centred specimen would be greater.
Cancellations: Early cancellation devices were
designed to 'obliterate' the stamp in order to prevent
it being reused and this is still an important objective
for today's posta1 administrations. Stamp collectors, Unmounted Very lightly Lightly mounted Mounted/large Heavily mounted
on the other hand, prefer postmarks to be lightly mounted part origina1 gum small part o.g
applied, clear, and to leave as much as possible of
the design visible. Dated, circular cancellations have
long been 'the postmark of choice', but the definition
of a 'Fine' cancellation will depend upon the types of
CENTRING
cancellation in use at the time a stamp was current-it
is clearly illogica1 to seek a circular datestamp on a
Penny Black.
'Fine', by definition, will he superior to 'Average',
so, in terms of cancellation quality, if one begins by
identifyingwhat 'Average' looks like, then one will be
half way to identiS.ing 'Fine'. The illustrations will
give some guidance on mid-19th century and mid-20th
century cancellations of Great Britain, but lypes of
cancellation in genera1use in each countq and in each
period will determine the appearance of 'Fine'.
As for the factors discussed above, anythmg less
than 'Fine' will result in a downgrading of the stamp
concemed, while a very fine or superb cancellation
will be worth a prernium.
Combining the factors: To merit the description
'Fine', a stamp should be fine in every respect, but
a small deficiency in one area might be made up for
in another by a factor menting an 'Extremely Fine'
description.
Some early issues are so seldom found in what
would nonnally be considered to be 'Fine' condition,
the catalogue prices are fora slightly lower grade, with
'Fine' examples being worth a premium. In such cases
a note to this effect is given in the catalogue, while
elsewhere premiums are given for well-centred, lightly
cancelled examples.
It should be emphasised that stamps graded at less
than fine remain collectable and, in the case of more
highly priced stamps will continue to hold a value
Nevertheless, buyers should always bear condition
in mind.

THE CATALOGUE IN GENERAL
Contents. The Catalogue is confined to adhesive
postage stamps, including miniature sheets. For par-
ticular categories the rules are:
(a) Revenue (fiscal) stamps or telegraph stamps
are listed only where they have been expressly
authorised for postal duty.
(h) Stamps issued only precancelled are included,
but normally issued stamps available additionally
with precancel have no separate precancel listing
unless the face value is changed.
(C) Stamps prepared for use but not issued, hitherto
accorded fu11 listing, are nowadays foot-noted
with a price (where possible).
(d) Bisects (trisects, etc.) are only listed where such
usage was officially authorised.
(e) Stamps issued only on first day covers or in
presentation packs and not available separately
are not listed but may be priced in a footnote.
(f) New printings are only included in this Catalogue
where they show a major philatelic variety, such
as a change in shade, watermark or paper. Stamps
which exist with or without imprint dates are
listed separately; changes in imprint dates are
mentioned in footnotes.
(g) Oficial and unoficial reprints are dealt with by
footnote.
(h) Stamps fiom imperforate printings of modern
issues which occur perforated are covered by
footnotes, but are listed where widely available
for postal use.
Exclusions. The following are excluded:
(a) non-posta1revenue or fiscal stamps;
(h) postage stamps used fiscally;
(C) local caniage labels and private local issues;
(d) bogus or phantom stamps;
(e) railway or airline letter fee stamps, bus or road
transport company labels;
(4 cut-outs;
(g) al1 types of non-posta1 labels and souvenirs;
(h) documentary labels for the postal service, e.g.
registration, recorded delivery, air-mail etiquettes,
etc.;
(i) privately applied embellishments to official issues
and privately comrnissioned items generally;
Cj) stamps for training postal oficers.
Full listing. 'Full listing' confers our recognition and
implies allotting a catalogue number and (wherever
possible) a price quotation.
In judging status for inclusion in the catalogue
broad considerations are applied to stamps. They must
be issued by a legitimate postal authority, recognised
by the government concerned, and must be adhesives
valid for proper postal use in the class of service for
which they are inscribed. Stamps, with the exception
of such categories as postage dues and officials, must
be available to the general public, at face value, in
reasonable quantities without any artificial restrictions
being imposed on their distribution.
For errors and varieties the criterion is legitimate
(albeit inadvertent) sale through a postal admi~stra-
tion in the norma1 course of business. Details of
provenance are always important; pnnters' waste and
deliberately manufactured material are excluded.
Certificates. In assessing unlisted items due weight
is given to Certificates from recognised Expert
Committees and, where appropriate, we will usually
ask to see them.
Date of issue. Where local issue dates differ from
dates of release by agencies, 'date of issue' is the
local date. Fortuitous stray usage before the officially
intended date is disregarded in listing.
Catalogue numbers. Stamps of each country are
catalogued chronologically by date of issue. Sub-
sidiary classes are placed at the end of the country,
as separate lists, with a distinguishing letter prefm to
the catalogue number, e.g. D for postage due, O for
official and E for express delivery stamps.
The catalogue number appears in the extreme
left-column. The boldface Type numbers in the next
column are merely cross-references to illustrations.
Once published in the Catalogue, numbers are
changed as little as possible; really serious renumber-
ing is resewed for the occasions when a complete
country or an entire issue is being rewritten. The
edition first affected includes cross-reference tables
of old and new numbers.
Our catalogue numbers are universally recognised
in speci@ing stamps and as a hallmark of status.
Illustrations. Stamps are illustrated at three-quarters
linear size. Stamps not illustrated are the same size
and format as the value shown, unless otherwise
indicated. Stamps issued only as miniature sheets have
the stamp alone illustrated but sheet size is also quoted.
Overprints, surcharges, watermarks and postmarks are
normally actual size. Illustrations of varieties are often
enlarged to show the detail. Stamp booklet covers are
illustrated half-size, unless otherwise indicated.
Designers. Designers' names are quoted where
known, though space precludes naming every indi-
vidual concerned in the production of a set. In
particular, photographers supplying material are
usually named only where they also make an active
contribution in the design stage; posed photographs
of reigning monarchs are, however, an exception to
this rule.
CONTACTINGTHE C I UE EDWOR
The editor is always intertaLGu "zaring from people
who have new information which will improve or
correct the Catalogue. As a general rule he must see
and examine the actual stamps before they can be
considered for listing; photographs or photocopies are
insuficient evidence.
Submissions should be made in writing to the
Catalogue Editor, Stanley Gibbons Publications at the
Ringwood office. The cost of retum postage for items
submitted is appreciated, and this should include the
registration fee if required.
Where information 1s solicited purely for the
benefit of the enquirer, the editor cannot undertake
to reply if the answer is already contained in these
published notes or if retum postage is omitted. Written
communications are greatly preferred to enquiries by
telephone or e-mai1 and the editor regrets that he or
his staff cannot see persona1 callers without a prior
appointment being made. Correspondence may be
subject to delay during the production period of each
new edition.
The editor welcomes close contact with study
circles and is interested, too, in fmding reliable local
correspondentswho will verify and supplement official
iformation m countnes where this 1s deficient.

TECHNICAL MATi tnS

catalogue will be found in our Philatehc Terms
Zllustrated.
References below to (more specialised) listings
are to be taken to indicate, as appropriate, the Stanley
Gibbons Great Brztain Specialised Catalogue in five
volumes or the Great Britain Concise Catalogue.
1. Printing
Printing errors. Errors in printing are of major
interest to the Catalogue. Authenticated items meriting
consideration would include: background, centre or
frame inverted or omitted; centre or subject transposed;
error of colour; error or omission of value; double
prints and impressions; printed both sides; and so
on. Designs tete-beche, whether intentionally or by
accident, are listable. Se-tenant arrangements of stamps
are recognised in the listings or footnotes. Gutter pairs
(a pair of stamps separated by blank margin) are not
included in this volume. Colours only partially omitted
are not listed. Stamps with embossing omitted are
reserved for our more specialised listings.
Printing varieties. Listing is accorded to major
changes in the printing base which lead to completely
new types. In recess-printing this could be a design
re-engraved; in photograwre or photolithography
a screen altered in whole or in part. It can also
encompass flat-bed and rotary printing if the results
are readily distinguishable.
To be considered at all, varieties must be constant.
Early stamps, produced by primitive methods, were
prone to numerous imperfections; the lists reflect
this, recognising re-entries, retouches, broken frames,
misshapen letters, and so on. Printing technology has,
however, radically improved over the years, during
which time photogravure and lithography have
become predominant. Varieties nowadays are more
in the nature of flaws and these, being too specialised
for this general catalogue, are alrnost always outside
the scope.
In no catalogue, however, do we list such items
as: dry prints, kiss prints, doctor-blade flaws, colour
shifis or registration flaws (unless they lead to the
complete omission of a colour from an individual
stamp), lithographic nng flaws, and so on. Neither do
we recognise fortuitous happenings like paper creases
or confetti flaws.
Overprints (and surcharges). Overprints of differ-
ent types quali@ for separate listing. These include
overprints in different colours; overprints from
different printing processes such as litho and typo;
overprints in totally different typefaces, etc. Major
errors in machine-printed overprints are important and
listable. They include: overprint inverted or omitted;
overprint double (treble, etc.); overprint diagonal; over-
print double, one inverted; pairs with one overprint
omitted, e.g. fiom a radica1 shift to an adjoining stamp;
error of colour; error of type fount; letters inverted or
omitted, etc. If the overprint is handstamped, few of
these would qualify and a distinction is drawn. We
continue, however, to list pairs of stamps where one
has a handstamped overprint and the other has not.
Varieties occurring in overprints will often take the
form of broken letters, slight differences in spacing,
rising spaces, etc. Only the most important would be
considered for listing or footnote mention.
Sheet positions. If space permits we quote sheet
positions of listed varieties and authenticated data is
solicited for this purpose.
De La Rue plates. The Catalogue classifies the
general plates used by De La Rue for printing British
Colonia1 stamps as follows:
VICTORIAN KEY TYPE

1. The ball of decoration on the second point of the
crown appears as a dark mass of lines.
2. Dark vertical shading separatesthe fiont hair from

3. The vertical line of colour outlining the front of
the throat stops at the sixth line of shading on the
neck.
4. The white space in the coi1 of the hair above the
curl is roughly the shape of a pin's head.
Die I1
1. There are very few lines of colour in the ball and
it appears almost white.
2. A white vertical strand of hair appears in place of
the dark shading.
3. The line stops at the eighth line of shading.
4. The white space is oblong, with a line of colour
partially dividing it at the le& end.
Plates numbered 1 and 2 are both Die I. Plates 3 and

every stamp. The listings and notes make clear which description by one of four methods: (1) holding stamps
sides are correctly imperf. to the light; (2) laymg stamps face down on a dark

background; (3) adding a few drops of petroleum ether
40160 to the stamp laid face down in a watermark tray;
(4) by use of the Stanley Gibbons Detectamark, or
other equipment, which work by revealing the thinning
of the paper at the watermark. (Note that petroleum
ether is highly idammable in use and can damage
photogravure stamps.)
Listable types. Stamps occurring on both water-
marked and unwatermarked papers are different types
and both receive full listing.
Single watermarks (devices occurring once on
every stamp) can be modified in size and shape as
between different issues; the types are noted but not
usually separately listed. Fortuitous absence of water-
mark from a single stamp or its gross displacement
would not be listable.
To overcome registration difficulties the device may
be repeated at close intervals (a multiple watermark),
single stamps thus showing parts of several devices.
Similarly, a large sheet watermark (or all-over
watermark) covering numerous stamps can be used.
We give informative notes and illustrations for them.
The designs may be such that numbers of stamps in
the sheet automatically lack watermark: this is not
a listable variety. Multiple and all-over watermarks
sometimes undergo modifications, but if the various
types are difficult to distinguish fiom single stamps
notes are given but not separate listings.
Papermakers' watermarks are noted where known
but not listed separately, since most stamps in the sheet
wiil lack them. Sheet watermarb which are nothing
more than officially adopted papmnakers' watermarks
are, however, given normal listing.
Marginal watermarks, f a l h g outside the pane
of stamps, are ignored except where misplacement
caused the adjoining row to be affected, in which case
they may be footnoted.
Watermark errors and varieties. Watermark errors
are recognised as of major importante. They comprise
stamps intended to be on unwatermarked paper but
issued watermarked by mistake, or stamps printed on
paper with the wrong watermark. Varieties showing
letters omitted from the watermark are also included,
but broken or deformed bits on the dandy roll are not
listed unless they represent repairs.
Waterrnark positions. The diagram shows how
watemark position is described in the Cataiogue. Paper
has a side intended for printing and watermarks are
usualiy impresseci so that they read normally when
looked through from that printed si&. However, since
philatelists customarily detect watermarks by looking
at the back of the stamp the watermark diagram also
makes clear what is actualiy seen.

Illustrations in the Catalogue are of watermarks in
normal positions (from the fiont of the stamps) and
are actual size where possible.
Differences in watermark position are collectable
varieties. This Catalogue now lists inverted, sideways
inverted and reversed watermark varieties on Common-
wealth stamps from the 1860s onwards except where
the watermark position is completely haphazard.
Great Britain inverted and sideways inverted water-
marks can be found in the Great Britain Specialised
Catalogue and the Great Britain Concise Catalogue.
Where a watermark comes indiscriminately in
various positions our policy is to cover this by a
general note: we do not give separate listings because
the watermark position in these circumstances has no
particular philatelic importance.
Standard types of watermark. Some watermarks
have been used generally for various British pos-
sessions rather than exclusively for a single colony.
To avoid repetition the Catalogue classifies 11 gen-
era1 types, as under, with references in the headings
throughout the listings being given either in words
or in the form ("W W 9 ) (meaning "watermark type
W 9 ) . In those cases where watermark illustrations
appear in the listings themselves, the respective refer-
ence reads, for example, W 153,thus indicating that
the watermark will be found in the normal sequence
of illustrations as (type) 153.
The general types are as follows, with an example
of each quoted.

W l l Crown over A N.S.W. No. 347
CC in these watermarks is an abbreviation for
"Crown Colonies" and CA for "Crown Agents".
Watermarks W 1, W 2 and W 3 are on stamps printed
by Perkins, Bacon; W 4 onwards on stamps from De
La Rue and other printers.
W l
Large Star
w2 W 3
Small Star Broad-pointed Star
Watermark W 1, Large Star, measures 15 to 16 mm
across the star from point to point and about 27 mm
from centre to centre vertically between stars in the
sheet. It was made for long stamps like Ceylon 1857
and St. Helena 1856.
Watermark W 2, Small Star is of similar design but
measures 12 to 131/2mmfrom point to point and 24
mm from centre to centre vertically. It was for use with
ordinary-size stamps such as Grenada 1863-71.
When the Large Star watermark was used with
the smaller stamps it only occasionaliy comes in the
centre of the paper. It is frequently so misplaced as
to show portions of two stars above and below and
this eccentricity will very often help in determining
the watermark.
Watermark W 3, Broad-pointed Star, resembles
W 1 but the points are broader.
w4 W5
Crown (over) CC Crown (over) CC
Two Cmwn (over) CC watermarks were used:
W 4 was for stamps of ordinary size and W 5 for those
of larger size.
w6 W 7
Crown (over) CA CA over Crown
Two watermarks of Crown CA type were used,
W 6 being for stamps of ordinary size. The other,
W 7, is properly described as CA over Crown. It was
specially made for paper on which it was intended
to print long fiscal stamps: that some were used
postally accounts for the appearance of W 7 in the
Catalogue. The watermark occupies twice the space
of the ordinary Crown CA watermark, W 6. Stamps
of normal size printed on paper with W 7 watermark
show it sideways; it takes a horizontal pair of stamps
to show the entire watermark.
w8 w9
Multiple Crown CA Multiple Script CA
Multiple watermarks began in 1904 with W 8, Multiple
Crown CA, changed from 1921 to W 9, Multiple Script
CA. On stamps of ordinary size portions of two or three
watermarks appear and on the large-sized stamps a
greater number can be observed. The change to letters
in script character with W 9 was accompanied by a
Crown of distinctly different shape.
It seems likely that there were at least two dandy
rolls for each Crown Agents watermark in use at any
one time with a reserve roll being employed when the
normal one was withdrawn for maintenance or repair.
Both the Mult Crown CA and the Mult Scnpt CA
types exist with one or other of the letters omitted
from individua1 impressions. It is possible that most
of these occur from the reserve rolls as they have only
been found on certain issues. The MCA watermark
experienced such problems during the early 1920s and
the Scnpt over a longer period from the early 1940s
unti1 1951.
During the 1920s damage must also have occurred
on one of the Crowns as a substituted Crown has been
found on certain issues. This is smaller than the normal
and consists of an oval base joined to two upnght ovals
with a circle positioned between their upper ends. The
Genera1 Philatelic Information and Guidlines
upper line of the Crown's base is omitted, as are the
left and right-hand circles at the top and also the cross
over the centre circle.
Substituted Crown
The Multiple Script CA watermark, W 9, is known with
two errors, recurring among the 1950-52 printings of
several temtories. In the first a crown has fallen away
from the dandy-roll that impresses the watermark into
the paper pulp. It gives W 9a, Crown missing, but
this omission has been found in both "Crown only"
(illustrated) and "Crown CA" rows. The resulting
faulty paper was used for Bahamas, Johore, Seychelles
and the postage due stamps of nine colonies
W 9a: Error, Crown missing
W 9b:Error, St. Edward's Crown
When the omission was noticed a second mishap
occurred, which was to insert a wrong crown in the
space, giving W 9b, St. Edward's Crown. This pro-
duced varieties in Bahamas, Perlis, St. Kitts-Nevis and
Singapore and the incorrect crown likewise occurs in
(Crown only) and (Crown CA) rows.
W 10 W l1
V over Crown Crown over A
Resuming the general types, two watermarks found in
issues of several Australian States are: W 10, V aver
Crown, and W 11, Crown aver A.
6. Colours
Stamps in two or three colours have these named
in order of appearance, from the centre moving out-
wards. Four colours or more are usually listed as
multicoloured.
In compound colour names the second is the
predominant one, thus:
orange-red = a red tending towards orange;
red-orange =an orange containing more red
than usual.
Standard colours used. The 200 colours most
used for stamp identification are given in the Stanley
Gibbons Stamp Colour Key. The Catalogue has used
the Stamp Colour Key as standard for describing new
issues for some years. The names are also introduced
as lists are rewritten, though exceptions are made
for those early issues where traditional names have
become universally established.

General Philatelic Information and Guidlines
Determining colours. When comparing actual
stamps with colour samples in the Stamp Colour Key,
view in a good north daylight (or its best substitute;
fluorescent "colour matching" light). Sunshine is not
recommended. Choose a solid portion of the stamp
design; if available, margina1 markings such as
soiid bars of colour or colour check dots are helpful.
Shading lines in the design can be misleading as they
appear lighter than solid colour. Postmarked portions
of a stamp appear darker than normal. If more than
one colour is present, mask off the extraneous ones
as the eye tends to mix them.
Errors of colour. Major colour errors in stamps
or overprints which qualify for listing are: wrong
colours: one colour inveried in relation to the rest:
albinoss(colourless impressions), where these have
Emert Committee certiiicates: colours completelv
o&ted, but only on unused stamps (if found o; used
stamps the information is footnoted) and with good
credentials, missing colours being frequently faked.
Colours only partially omitted are not recognised,
Colour shifts, however spectacular, are not listed.
Shades. Shades in philately refer to variations in
the intensity of a colour or the presence of differing
amounts of other colours. They are particularly
significant when they can be linked to specific
prmtings. in general, shades need to be quite marked
to fall within the scope of this Catalogue; it does not
favour nowadays listing the often numerous shades of
a stamp, but chooses a single applicable colour name
which will indicate particular groups of outstanding
shades. Furthermore, the listings refer to colours as
issued; they may deteriorate into something different
through the passage of time.
Modern colour printing by lithography is prone to
marked differences of shade, even within a single run,
and variations can occur within the same sheet. Such
shades are not listed.
Aniline coloun. An aniline colour meant originally
one derived from coal-tar; it now refers more widely
to colour of a particular brightness suffused on the
surface of a stamp and showing through clearly on
the back.
Colours of overprints and surcharges. Al1
ovemrinis and surcharges are in black unless stated
othekvise in the headLg or after the description of
the stamp.
7. Specimen Stamps
Originally, stamps overprinted SPECIMEN were
circulated to postmasters or kept in official records,
but after the establishment of the Universal Posta1
Union supplies were sent to Berne for distributionto

issue, 1940 (S.G. 482) and the first colour of the King George V1 issue
(S.G. 465). These are listed under Nos. 482a and 465b. Anumber of the

bisected and used.

During the expansion of the Australian settlements in the fourth dec-
ade of the nineteenth centurv the erowine oo~ulationof the Port Phil-
lip Distnct m the south of <ew ~GuthW% ied to a muvement fur 11s
crcatiun as a separdte culony. 'lh~saspinillon rece~vedthe approval uf
the British Government in 1849, hut the colony of Victuria, as it was
to be called, was not to be created until L July i851.
In the meantime the New South Wales Legislative Council voted fur
the intmductiou of postal reforms, including the use of postage stamps,
from 1 Janum 1850. and this act was also to amlv to the Port Phillio
District where'stampH inscribed "VICTORIA" goAd predate the crei-
tiou of that colony by eighteen months.
Until the end of 1859 the stamps of V~ctoria,with the exception of
Nos. 40 and 73, were produced by local contractors worldng under the
supervision of the colonial administration.
SPECIMEN OVERPRINTS. Those listed are from U.P.U. disrribu-
tions in 1892 and 1897. Further "Specimen" overprints exist, but these
were used for other purposes
HAM PRINTINGS. The fmt contractor was Thomas Ham of Mel-
bourne. He was responsible for the initial printings of the "Halt-Length"
Id., 2d. and 3d., together with the replacement "Queen on Throne" 2d.
The first orinfines were vroduced from small sheets of 30 (5x61 laid
down &rhctly from the edgravcd die wbch showed a single ciarnple of
each value. Subsequent printmgs, of which No. 40 was the first, were
m sheets of I20 (two Danes of60) Ind down uslne intermed~atestones
of various sizes.' Impressions from the 61st p&tings were h e and
clear, but the quality deteriorated when intermediate stones were used.

CAMPBELL & CO PRINTINGS. In May 1853 the Victoria postal
authorities placed an order for Id. and 6d. stamps in the "Queen on
Throne" design with Perkins, Bacon in London. These would not anive
for some time, however, and supplies of Ham's printings were rapidly
becoming exhausted. Local tenders were, therefore, solicited for further
supplies of the Id. and 3d. "Half Lengths" and the 2d. "Queen on
Throne". That received from J. S. Campbell & CO was accepted. The
stamps were produced by lithography, using transfers from either the
"Half l.ength" enpved die or the 2d. "Queen on Throne" engraved plate
of 50. Stamos fmm thc Camnbcll & COorintlnes can be distmurushed
from later p;iotings in lithogkphy by th; good-Iuality paper used.

Nos. 19/21 were produced using transfers taken directly from the
3riainal Ham engraved plate. It is believed that the different strengths
~fthe impressions were caused by the amount of pressure exerted when
he transfers were taken. The stamps were printed in sheets of 100 (2
3anes 10x5). On one stone a block of four at bottom lee, lettered T L
5M" over "QV R V , was damaged and the stone was repaired by using
a block of four substituted transfers. These were lettered "VZ WA" over
'FL G M . No. 20ca covers any one of these subst~tutedtranstks in pair

For No. 22 an intermediate stone was used to produce a printing stone

V OVER CROWN WATERMARKS. The changeover from the
numeral wawb to a general type to be used for all valueswas
first suggested at the end of 1865, but the first supplies did not reach
Melbourne until April 1867. Five different versions were used before
the V over Crown watermark was superseded by the Commonwealth
type in 1905. The five versions are listed as follows:
Type 19 De La Rue paper supplied 1867 to 1882. Shows four
points at the top of the crown with the left and right
ornaments diamond-shaped
Type 33 De La Rue paper supplied 1882 to 1895 No points at

By the Post and Telegraph Aot of 5 September 1893 the current =sue
of liscal stamps up to and includmg the 1s. value, Nos E11115, was
authonsed for postal use.
These stamps had beem initially supplied, fm fiscal purposes, m Feh-
niary 1882 and had been preceded by a senes of "I R" surcharges and
overpnnts on postage stamps which were in use for a penod of about six
months. Examples of these 1881-82 pronsionals can be found postally
used under the terms of the 1893 Act but, as they had not been current
fm liscd purposes for over eleva years, we no longer list them.

The 6rst intemal postal system for Bermuda was organised by Joseph
Stockdale, the proprietor of the Bermuda Gazette, in Januxy 1784.
This service competed with that of the colonial post office, sei up in
May 1812, until 1818.
Control of the overseas postal servioes passed to the British G.P.O.
in 1818. The inintemal delivery system was discontinued between 1821
and 1830. The overseas posts became a colonial responsibility in
