Hey guys - I need help with a catalogue number. I have a copy of Forbin's catalogue but it only extends to 1915...and this particular Stamp Duty does not appear in Stanley Gibbons and is too recent for Forbin. I think it may be in the the Barefoot Commonwealth Revenues which I dont have a copy of. In fact, many of my commonwealth Fiscal stamps dont appear in Stanley Gibbons depressingly, which is why I have been relying on old Forbin.

The parent stamp is Forbin 1912 (HK SD62) - (reissued 1921 with different watermark) however I kind of need a catalogue number for this Overprint variant which looks like 1921 (Watermark CA script) - I think the original watermarks were CA text over Crown image. I think the 1921 version and another 1933 version were used specifically for the overprints (like B of E).

Any help would be appreciated - ideally I want to categorise this in my digital stamp collection with correct catalogue reference.

Excerpts from the 2019 Barefoot catalog. Depending on watermark, your stamp could be Barefoot 105 or Barefoot 131.


Use the table to identify the overprint, then append that letter to the Barefoot number.

Hope this helps.
