Is this stamp used for documents? I assumed it was British, but not sure. Any thoughts?

Why the extra zero on the end. Is 1.10.0 the notation for 1 pound, 10 shillings?

Yes, British revenue stamp for documents. This particular one appears to have been used at the British Consulate in Los Angeles.

I don't have a GB revenue catalog and I don't collect revenues. So I'll leave it up to someone else to fill in the blanks.

Definitely a very pretty stamp!

Yes. I believe the last 0 is a holder for the number of pence.

Wow, I didn't see those words "NGELES". Should have been a tip off since I grew up near Los Angeles. Thanks.

Rodney,
Any chance you could scan the Barefoot pages for English Consular Service and email them to me?
I have a bunch (all different regains)and would love to put #'s to them. I've been menaing to get several barefoot catalogs and have just never gotten around to it. Also, did you ever look at the other Rev. posts?

"Barefoot" -- his name alone is reason to get the catalog!

It's the classic general go-to catalog for revenues.

David,
I've pulled out the South African Revenues for you. I just haven't had a chance to scan them. I should get to it this weekend. I'll scan the Consulars at the same time. I'll send you an email over the weekend.

Just one correction, my CV of the OP is 1989 value not 1987
the printing was a bit wonky.

Any in particular? I am a "L Plate" driver here, and generally
go by "Latest 100" I have not yet dug down to individual
sub forums, I may have missed some.
If I have please accept my apologies.
