(3 May 2020) Great damage was caused to both the islands of Barbados and St. Vincent on SP 11 98. The chart below shows the earliest strikes known for each Parish office after that date. St. Lucy shows a large "unknown" period which hopefully you can help close by sending scans of dated copies.

I have a reluctance to put certain items in for a Certificate as you are either stuck with a yes or a no! If you were going to forge this DOUBLE SURCHARGE you would think of perhaps chosing a better stamp! Obviously it has manuscript cleaned and SG state "Many used examples of the Postal Fiscal stamps have had pen cancellations removed before being used postally". St. Lucia joined the U.P.U. January 1st 1881 and the postal rate to other full member countries was 4d. However there appeared to be a need for higher values as 6d and 1/- denominations were produced. I cannot see any plate flaw on the basic stamp to position, and as multiples of this QV 6d postal fiscal do not exist, one assumes that every stamp will have different characteristics in the overprint. This stamp clearly has matching broken top to "S" in STAMP but it would if it was a forgery, and it would if it was genuine! What about the "A11" cancel, forgery or genuine? Your thoughts are welcomed.
