Hi, rod222. There's no reference to aniline pink in Scott, but it seems to me - on the basis of stamps from other countries with aniline ink varieties - that this is probably aniline ink. Perhaps Gibbons or the ACSC says something about this.
Rod, looking at Gibbons there is no reference to aniline inks used in these printings. Maybe your surmise from yesterday was correct? Fugitive ink after soaking.
I have similar problems with used Rhodesia "double head" 1d issues, and they can only reliably be sorted out by fluorescence colour. Many appear to be aniline, although they are not.
Wow..I am surprised Tim. Thanks for that. I'll dig out my Gibbons, not to challenge you, but I really recall seeing the word whilst I was cataloguing my Victorian, I remember looking closely at my Pink.
Then again, it may be old age galloping forward. ----------------
Update: I must have been the "rosine" that took my interest.
