Hi John, Thank you very much for the information on the Provinance of these stamp back 50 years ago. Specimens were well frowned upon then which supports the case for legitimacy. I am very happy to have reunited the missing 6d to the "small specimen" collection, for my sense of completion, yours and...

I bought these cut down Specimen die proofs on card several years ago from an ebayer in Tasmania. Unfortunately the 3d never made it via Registered Post and is the ebay picture. (If it ever turns up give me a call :) These may be ex Tinsley. I was wondering if anyone has other Specimen examples as ...

I was just a bit hopeful there may have been another about, but it is more than likely a forgery.

Hi Dave,
The picture shows the front and back of both stamps, so I guess they are both kiss prints?

Here is a mystery Specimen. Possibly a forgery, but I haven't got another to compare with so any information would be appreciated.

Hi,
I thought these Dragon offsets were interesting. Any ideas ?
Cheers

Hi, Iam a keen Tasmania Specimen collector and over the years have collected all the Pictorial values apart from the 1d with no stop after specimen. Does anyone have any info on the number of this variety per sheet. There is also a slightly less difficult variety with a clearly broken Captal "C" in ...
