A friend has raised a question that other readers of rcsd probably can

is shown at:

Here's another stamp I can't find in Scott. It's Hong Kong Scott Type
A1, the 18 cent with 16 cents overprint, and would seem to be Scott
29. However, it's perf 12 1/2 and Scott 29 is perf 14. In fact, all
Scott Type A1's are perf 14. Could it be a variety noted in Gibbons or
some other catalog?

I couldn't find any info on the APS site or on the web.

Thanks for your help.

Not shown in SG either. All the early Victorias are p14, with the
exception of the 4c, which has a p12.5 variety but was never
overprinted.

Not that it helps, but what is the watermark? And is that a pen cancel
(which suggests fiscal use)?

It looks like a roller cancel to me.
