Stanley Gibbons includes a note to beware REGISTRAR GENERAL cancels on Trinidad stamps, as they closely mimic a postal cancellation. They don't look like your typical revenue cancels; here is an example on a QV 1 shilling. I picked this up for very low dough so that I'd have an example of the cancel in question.

Naughty of them not to use a different coloured ink for a revenue cancel. Another thing to keep the eyes open for.

Thanks Cjd!

I gather there are some very deceptive revenue cancels on the New Zealand Arms types, too. The give-away is the use of 'Otago' in the CDSs. Otago isn't a town, it's a district, and indicates revenue use.
