Hi There - I was going through my Cape of Good Hope. And it seems (in my Scott Cat) that these color varietes are not listed?

Does anyone know if these are catalouged somewhere else or are these common varieties?

The One Penny is the most obvious - The others might be because of fading or something - not sure...

What do you think?

I don't have a specialists catalogue,
but do suggest the reds in the carmine shades are notorious for
light and chemical damage.
My stamps in the Cape collection, show similar varieties to yours.

I do have a catalogue that deals with these issues - I will take a look when I get home from work (I only bring one cat with me to work to ensure I don't stray to much from doing actual work).

I know these issues had various printings - With outer fram lines and without outer frame lines. Also various watermarks.
