Manuscript Specimens

Stamps of this issue with "Specimen" written in ink are thought to have been so endorsed in London by the
printers De La Rue & Co., for use as file copies. Several different styles of hand writing are found, being
classified by Nicholson into three types (N21 to N23) for the Pineapple watermark issue; several different
types are seen that are not classified by Nicholson, but still likely to be by De La Rue employees.
