A- B1 1903 ‘C.A.’ Overprints on KEVII 1d scarlet, cancelled with ‘[PA]RLIAMENT ST/C/JAN 14/03/S.W.’, light crease otherwise very fine. S.G. Great Britain Vol II states “In 1903 the 1d Scarlet was overprinted in black with the letters ‘C.A.’ (4.5mm high 10.5mm long). It is now established that the overprints were made at Australia House as receipt stamps”. This postally used example, very early use, along with the SG mentioned cover of 1912, confirms the stamps were used other than as receipt stamps.
