"Concerning the letter of Mr. V. N. F. Surtees (Bulletin no. 7, p. 95.) regarding S.G. 59 overprinted 'Specimen' I have a copy of this stamp the word 'Specimen' being in script in purple the same shade as the surcharge above it. If this is the same stamp as mentioned by Mr. Marcus Samuel as a rarity (only three copies being known) here is another one. I have little knowledge of 'Specimen' stamps of St. Vincent and should like to know if; there is more than one variety of this stamp overprinted 'Specimen''."
