Several pages in Chapter Four of the Complete Deegam Machin Handbook illustrates and explains some of the overprints.

Thanks. Yes many are mentioned. I guess I am trying to expand on this listing and find some people that have the anecdotal stories of the Irish propaganda of the 1970s

I am not sure how many bags of Kiloware I've been though in forty plus years, but other than a few 2d tax payment overprints I have yet to find any of these.
Perhaps I should dig into those files once again ?

Hi Tony
The Todmorden ones come up on eBay though not that often, the others not so sure.

The Cook Book specimen overprint is well documented SG Vol 3 12 Edition p294

I have some info on the 2p overprint on the 5d but I have not seen it printed anywhere.

Similarly with the Cwmbran overprints although there may be something related to Wilding overprints as these are more common

There are a lot of 2d Company Overprints available the GB Overprints Society will be helpful. The 6d ones however I find very hard to come by.

The 1/2d N Hod example I have been told there are mint copies but have never seen any

Just remembered I have some 4d vermilion booklet panes of 6 with Lundy overprints although I think these were probably done for a giggle

I would suggest you steer clear of those with Cancelled or School Specimen as I feel these are all fakes similarly those with the black training bar overprints there are just so many of them they cannot all be genuine

Best of luck with your hunting

Regards
David Bradbury
