The existence of the 1841, 1d. red-brown and 2d. blue handstamped SPECIMEN was first reported in "The British Philatelist" in March 1934 when…"quite recently a block of thirty-one of the One Penny and a block of thirty of the Two Pence, plate 3, turned up…which have not hitherto been known overprinted specimen". Specimen overprinted sheets of the 1d. and 2d. have been sent on request of the Prussian, Austrian and Neapolitan Post Offices in 1849 as samples, when these countries were planning to issue first adhesive postage stamps similar as the British Post Office. Entire sheets of the 1 d. red-brown, plate 88, and 2d. blue, plate 3, overprinted SPECIMEN sent to Prussia is still in the National Heritage Stamp Collection of the National Postal Museum in Berlin.

XXIX, page 45) and PK-PL (ex Joseph Silkin Collection), the only letterings recorded unused in the Karl Louis Card Index.
