1940 Overprinted Arms Postal Fiscals
With so many similarly coloured stamps with the same design, there were
many cases of denominations getting mixed up. To solve this problem, in
1940 several of the higher valued stamps were overprinted with their value
in black.
Although all values were authorised for postal use, the 35
shilling surcharge was not typically used for postage. For simplicity, this
catalogue lists only those stamps that were postally used on a regular
basis.
