Hi Rod, just seen your messages from the other day about Allan Oliver. I sent him an email back in October with a few postmarks not on the database, but have had no reply.
Regards

Hi David,
so many thanks for corroborating,
that is so disappointing, I just love that database,
I get so much joy by identifying my mutilated stationery, and stamps.
I did hear or read, sometime ago he was cataloguing at least 40 new, a day.
So he was busy.
But not getting a response is sad.
Just hope he is well, and perhaps just taking a rest.

That description is somewhat spurious. The portrait was based on a picture taken by the court photographers W. & D. Downey. In the photograph, the King wore an admiral's uniform. The stamp design, however, only copied the head from that photo. It does not show the King in admiral's uniform. Nor has it ever been a depiction of the King in such a uniform.

They copied the head from the Downley photograph. So they are called Downey Heads. Don't see what's spurious about that. |

It was my bad Ringo,  I knew the photograph was taken whilst His Majesty was in Admirals uniform (Hence my attempt at levity with a Naval term "Fore and aft" I badly typed "KGV in Admiral's uniform" and was corrected. (The uniform is unseen) All's good  |
