Scarlet block of six (3x2) overprinted "c.a." in black, large part original gum with a few wrinkles. Spec. ref. Pg. 73 in the Specialised, Ed. 14, cat. £1,140+

Notes: The Specialised catalogue notes that the 1d. and 6d. are known overprinted as such, as well as a KGV 1d. Downey Head Die 1B on cover postmarked 11 Jan. 12. It had been generally assumed that these initials referred to the Crown Agents but they denied ever having issued stamps with this overprint. It is now established that the overprints were made at Australia House as receipt stamps and refer to "Commonwealth of Australia".
