 1859-1937 used collection (158) on leaves, plus a few mint. Quite a good range of the early issues, with a little duplication; from 1896 problems are evident, with faked or fiscal cancellations on a number of better stamps including 1932
10s and £1 and Wilberforce 5s, 10s and £1. However, some are genuinely cancelled, including 1904 £1 (parts of several Bonthe CDSs, paper colour leached) and 1907 £1 (light Freetown CDS of 30 DE 13). Careful viewing is advised (Image) (Image2)
