    1878/80: The Bradbury Wilkinson set of seven values, ½ d. - 2 s., unused examples each overprinted SPECIMEN in black with the 1 d. showing the SPECIMEN handstamp doubled. This is the sole recorded set with a Specimen handstamp, Marcus Samuel recording this set in an Official collection of De La Rue stamps in 1882. Whilst De La Rue's tender was unsuccessful, it appears that DLR kept a sample of the Bradbury set in their records, handstamping same in black (De La Rue type D8). One of the few instances where a SPECIMEN handstamp was applied by one firm on stamps printed by another. Illustrated in "Specimen Stamps of the Crown Colonies" by Marcus Samuel on Plate 10 and discussed on page 238. Unique.rnrnProvenance: Collection Dr. Alan Drysdall, Spink, London, 1 March 2006, lot 1291.
