VINCENT REVENUE and ONE POUND in purple, '3' the same but hand-painted ST VINCENT and ONE POUND in purple with manuscript notation "This is an exact copy of the design for a revenue stamp given on the Appendix to our letter of the 29th June '82", with below '4' a further gorgeous hand-painted design on tracing paper in mauve and purple with ST. VINCENT POSTAGE AND REVENUE in Chinese white; third page headed "Appendix B" showing printed Keyplate designs with blank country name and Duty Plate marked '1' with hand-painted ST.
