solomonSolomon posted this image here linkI am fascinated by the VICTORIA 5/- Five Shilling, punctured OS (On Service) I have seen in excess of 200 of these stamps and never seen an punctured OS before. Would any Australia specialists know of any listing anywhere please?

Marvelous, thanks Jill, I was feeling quite certain these were Forgeries, that settles that. These stamps are 1901, the OS punctures began 1902 I had read something like "Some state issued stamps punctured OS" but no defined examples Then I had read something to the situation these were also issued CTO for stamp sets. I was at a loss on where to look, I found no exhaustive list of OS punctured stamps anywhere. There is one currently on ebay circa $50 IIRC I also searched the Les Molnar auction in 2012, he had over 150 issues in the collection, Not one was shown punctured

I'm happier than pig in slop to have received these 150th Anniversary Murray River Shipping stamps and prestige booklet. If I were younger and had the money, I think it would've been great to explore the river and thereabouts. Scott: 2173-2177 A646 - Horizontal strip of ten stamps with Murray River gutter (2003) 2173a-2177a A646 - Prestige booklet containing five blocks of four stamps with history and pictures (2003)
