At first sight very dodgy. Cannot find anything to disprove it. 1862 - 1865 Sc#33 24c Type A5 CV : $875 / $80 (torn so perhaps a few bob) P12½ Thin Paper (This makes it 1863) Copies are found on Pelure Paper Damus petimusque vicissim was the motto of British Guiana before Independence Day 1966. It is a Latin phrase which translates into English as "We give and take in return." Current motto is: One People, One Nation, One Destiny.  |

1931 series SC 205-209      I would consider the 2cent one to be a depiction errorA right hand bow should be drawn with the left foot forward not the right as it greatly restricts the ability to draw properly my credentials you ask - Past certified instructor with FITA (now WA) & Kyudo practitioner. |

Hi rod222, where is the list of BG postmarks orginally from, that you cite at pbbooks? Thanks so much. I've enjoyed viewing your pics of BG, which is mainly what I collect.

floradd , you probably didn't notice that rod222 is an inactive member who likely will not be responding to your question.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

There are only 2 threads for British Guiana but this was the one with most recent activity so I will share this new to me early stamp here. This era can be tricky because of paper differences and perforations. This one was listed on eBay as a Scott 20 mint with original glue hinged with a very high CV. It appears all bidders were like me and were cautious with the closing bid being at less than 10% of the listed CV. Sc. 20 is supposed to be on thick paper and Sc. 26 is thin paper. As I prepared to mount the stamp and looked at it closely it was obviously on thin paper which I do not have. Sc. 31 is on thin paper but with 12 1/2 X 13 perforation. I needed that as well. Perforations on these stamps are always a bit ragged but upon checking I am pretty certain that what I have bought is the Sc. 31. All is good but I have let the seller know their error. I suggested a minor adjustment on the selling price but I am fine if they do not agree. NOTE: The seller issued me a 18.00 US partial refund for the listing error. Great customer service.  |
