I have been shown during the past few- months at least six copies of the 1½d. light red-brown, S.G.123a (C.W.5b), all differing slightly in shade, and all purporting t o be the extremely scarce shade of the 1944 Colonial release. Knowing that many members of the Circle specialise in Jamaica, I shall be extremely grateful if anyone possessing what they consider is an authentic copy will send it to the Secretary for inspection, as it appears that many of the intermediate shades of red-brown - see footnote in Gibbons '- Catalogue which belong to an earlier printing, are inadvertently being taken for the genuine S.G. 123a.
