These stamps are listed in Scotts as APR 1...i happen to have a very rare inverted set...and another set with a darker black overprint...it is my understanding that the Staffa PO only issues these stamps on the first of April...what fools those mortals be!
Thanks for posting your examples. |

Sadly I do not own one of these rarities.  But I did once venture to the Island in search of some other Philatelic goodies....and found that it was uninhabited. I was all alone, save for the Puffins, and I had wads of Staffa £2 notes in my pocket ready for my purchases. It was a sad day. I will never go there again, a complete waste of time. Staffabus1.  |

I had a set of these when I was younger but my mom discarded them at the same time she disposed of my Baseball cards. |

I have an overprint of that issue from the year it was occupied by Redonda. |

Not much change there then !  An uninhabited rock occupying an uninhabited rocky Isle...don't think the Scottish Army need to be alarmed just yet !  Maybe the overprint was genuine ? Bogusbus1  |
