| 2 | Ince and Sacher state that the QV 1½d reply card (H&G 3) was printed in March 1883 and issued in May 1883, and that specimens were distributed by the UPU. The cards sent to the UPU must have been in normal unused condition as British Colonial stamps and postal stationery were not overprinted SPECIMEN until mid-1884. |
