Here is the explanation between postage and revenue use of Victorian stamps by Stanley. Yours being printed at the true "postage or revenue" period. THE "POSTAGE AND REVENUE" PERIOD, 1884-1901 Under the provisions of the Postage Act 1883 the stamps of the three series then in use (Postage, Duty, Fee) became, as from 1.1.84, mutually interchangeable. It was, at the same time, decided to issue (as soon as possible) the one stamp only, for any value, to serve all purposes. Since there were available many more dies (and plates) inscribed "Stamp Duty" than there were of either the "Postage" or "Fee" (Stamp Statute) series it was agreed that all values should be inscribed "Stamp Duty" by the beginning of 1885. All stamps printed after 1.1.84 are therefore true "Postage and Revenue" stamps whereas all Stamp Duty and Fee stamps printed before that date are Postal Fiscals, since they were originally printed solely for fiscal purposes. These principles have been strictly adhered to in our listing. Little difficulty should however be met in distinguishing between the printings of the one stamp found respectively in the main list and in the "Postal Fiscal" section since there are many major differences of printing, watermark, perforation and shade. On 1.1.84 there were no "Stamp Duty" designs for the Vad., 2d., 4d., 8d. and 2s. 6d. values. Also the existing "Stamp Duty" designs for the Id., 6d., Is. and 2s. were deemed to be too large to be convenient for general and extensive use. For all these values it was therefore necessary to produce new and smaller designs inscribed "Stamp Duty". Pending the preparation of new dies and plates, printings were made in 1884 (for the Vzd., Id., 2d., 4d., 6d., Is. and 2s. values) from the existing "Postage" plates. These printings are also "Postage and Revenue" stamps but have naturally been included, for the sake of convenience, in the previous period. By the beginning of 1885 printings were available, in the new designs, of all values save the Is. and 2s., and these latter appeared later. |

Ah! the penny dropped.
I have become aware acronyms can be irritating, It was perhaps "Limited Slip Differential", or "Lumpy Skin Disease" Pounds shillings and pence was not on the radar. Actually I was considering "Latest Strike Day" "Rein" wrote in message news Rodney, szkoda, ze nie! 12.02.1966 byl ostatnim dniem kiedy znaczki ze oznaczeniem LSD-owskim [pounds, shillings, pennies (d) ] byly wazne... pozdrawiam, Rein Op Mon, 16 Jun 2008 14:21:19 +0200 schreef rodney : No comprende, Senor.
