I make it something like Stanley Gibbons #90a Blackish purple 1902 P14
However, I read that the "specimen" was punctured
CV £900 (1993)
Caveat: Newbie for Rhodesia , perhaps reading catalogue incorrectly.
I believe yours is Type 12.

Thank you Rod. I have seen some perforated sets but only one overprinted thus far. Trying to pin it down. Your info is a great start.

In SG Information and Guidelines : Specimens.
I confirm perf=punctured
I do not see any seriffed "specimen" types, in the designs offered on the page.
If mixed punctured and overprinted, their code was "Optd/perf"

From the scan I think that it is the SG90 greyish red-purple rather than the 90a blackish purple, checking the perforations should help differentiate. Type 12 is the drawing number which also applies to the £1, £2,£5 etc.

Specimens were issued perforated as per SG as well as a black italic diagonal overprint like yours. If I recall correctly the black italic overprint were from presentation packs and scarcer than the perforated specimens.
The SG £900 catalogue price is for the perforated specimen set of 10 values

Right you are, thanks Clive, for explanation.
My catalogue appears to be a mid range catalogue between Specialised, and Simplified. Perhaps that's why the presentation packs not listed.

Nice one Jill.
Image lifted, confirms the presentation packs.

"Greyish red-purple" that was a surprise. Clive was correct.
