I found this stamp in a collection but could not find it in the Scott catalog. It features the coat of arms but figures beside shield are quite different from other coat of arms stamps.
In SG, I see a Postal Fiscal F5 (on blue paper) or F6 (on lilac paper). There is a huge hinge on back so not sure about the watermark. SG states it was issued in 1855-74 range.
I see this on stampworld.com but the dates do not match but it also shows two versions. |

For the revenue stamp that is watermarked Crown CC, Forbin lists an additional color variety of lilac.

It looks to be SG Telegraph T2 with original issue dated October 1879 - 1s. (purple-brown) with shades, and wmk. is Crown CC. Not sure of the post mark date we're seeing here - is that 1917, or do I have that wrong?
Nice stamp by the way - well done - shame about the small rub top right.
Correction to my thoughts on the date .............. I think I'm seeing AU 17 KINGSTON - the year could possibly be '89.

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

The discussion on the Jamaica Judicial revenue stamps are probably better in this thread. I am not sure why you would think the one George V you showed was postal used Rod ( rod222). I have these 5 in my collection and 3 have blue pencil cancels along with some other cancel. I have no working knowledge of these stamps but it appears the blue pencil use was common for some purpose. Wikipedia gives this paragraph on the Jamaica Revenue Stamp page: "Jamaica issued many stamps for judicial purposes. The first issue consisted of Queen Victoria postage stamps overprinted with a large JUDICIAL in bold sans-serif capitals in 1898. This set was reissued with a different watermark in 1908. Similar issues followed in the following years, with the portrait being changed to that of King George V (1913), King George VI (1938) and Queen Elizabeth II (1953). In some cases, the stamps were from specially printed sheets which were never issued without the overprint. These include all of the stamps bearing the portraits of King George VI or Queen Elizabeth II. In 1969 the Queen Elizabeth II set was reissued denominated in decimal currency, and these remained in use until the 1970s."  |

Your 2/- and 1/- shown are not revenue stamps, but Postage Stamps used under Judicial Service The stamps so marked with either a blue or red crayon, was indicia, to indicate the letter / envelope, parcel was to be REGISTERED Registered envelopes were introduced on the 1st January 1878 to address the compensation limits to £120 On the 6th January 1841 the PO introduced inland registration with a fee of 1 shilling reduced to 6d in 1848 and 4d in 1862 This added security for the covers but no compensation was made in the event of a loss The envelope format was printed with BLUE crossed lines to indicate the service (This was a hangover from the practice of tying letters and packets with GREEN string ) You will note stamps with these crayon marks are inscribed "Postage and revenue"    |

I've been looking for an explanation for the "crosses" on the envelopes for a long time.
The article about the use of green bands is very interesting.
Thanks rod222

Here are 2 images found on an eBay listing of Judicial stamps used on legal documents rod222 which are not on a cover. Note the blue pencil use. I have yet to find a Judicial stamp on cover.   |
