Exist genuine and forged (any watermark evident ?)
The complete set of 48 optd 'Reprint' plus three extras (two shades each of the 1d and 6d Queen-on-Throne, and the £5 Stamp Statute 'REPRINT' overprint). Generally fine and rarely offered as a complete set, as the Stamp Statutes were printed in half the quantity of the Postage values (51)
In 1891 the Victorian Post Office reprinted 48 obsolete stamps on V over Crown paper, using in a few cases the existing plates, but otherwise from new printing plates derived from the original dies. These reprints were intended for distribution to U.P.U. members, for which purpose they were overprinted 'Reprint'. Sets were later placed on sale to collectors, and following Federation the remaining stocks were cancelled-to-order for presentation purposes
