Notes:
1. The earliest recorded usage of this issue is the 1d cancelled 1914. The 2d was probably issued later. The other four values are recorded in the Crown Agents Requisition books (Req 3019), which states that the four dies were sent to Grenada on 18th May 1932.
2. The values shown in brackets are known as essays but not as issued examples.

Labels
L1/4
1914-17. World War I fundraising labels. 44 x 47½ mm, imperf (L1); 32 x 26½ mm, rough perf 11 (L2); 33 x 27 mm, roulette 6½ (L3); often with one or two sides imperf. L4 dimensions and perfs unknown. No watermark. L1/2 inscribed One Fraction and probably sold at ¼d or ½d each.
L1. [One fraction] red (BELGIAN RELIEF / LIÈGE / LEMAN)
L2. [One fraction] red (RED CROSS SOCIETY)
L3. ¼d red (RED CROSS SOCIETY 1914 1915)
L4. ¼d red (RED CROSS SOCIETY 1914 1915 1916 1917)
Note: L1/2 are known used in 1915 and were probably issued then or in 1914. The inscription on L1 refers to General Leman, who commanded the Belgian forts at the first battle of World War I - the Battle of Liège in August 1914. Based on the dates inscribed on the labels, L3 and L4 were presumably issued in 1915 and 1917 respectively.

Plate varieties (see note 3)
Notes:
1. Examples of R21/24 can be found with a marginal watermark of parallel lines.
2. Illustrated above right is the R21 bisected on piece. Such use was unauthorised and its status is uncertain.
3. Numerous duty plate varieties are recorded from the 1875 and 1879 printings due to poor make-up and loose type. Many of these varieties are relatively insignificant including irregular spacings and misshapen letters, but the following missing or substituted letters (some of which are illustrated at right) are worth noting:

- 1½d: THRFE for THREE; HALH for HALF; PFNCE for PENCE
- 2d: TVVO for TWO
- 4d: FONR for FOUR
- 1s: Missing second I in SHILLING
- 2s: TVVO for TWO; OWT for TWO; missing second I in SHILLINGS
- 5s: Missing second I in SHILLINGS
- 10s: Missing second I in SHILLINGS
Forgeries: Jeffryes die proof and £2 plus £3.10s produced from genuine 10s with THREE POUNDS added
4. The design of these stamps was popular with philatelists due to its similarity to the Penny Black and became the subject of a celebrated philatelic forgery by George Kirke Jeffryes within a few years of its issue. Spurious values such as £2 and £5, as well as die proofs, were produced by Jeffryes and can be distinguished from genuine stamps by the cruder engraving as shown at right. Forgeries of the £3 and £3.10s values have been produced by amending the surcharge on genuine 3d and 10s stamps respectively.
5. R1/24 were authorised for postage in 1887, and some values are known with postal cancels.
6. Barefoot states that R21/24 have sideways watermark but this seems to be a confusion with the later issue (see R31ff below).
7. Quantities printed:
R1/12: 1d - 108,000 (two printings); 1½d - 12,000; 2d - 12,000; 3d - 24,000; 4d - 6,000; 6d - 48,000; 9d - 6,000; 1s - 48,000; 2s - 30,000; 5s - 9,000; 10s - 6,000; £1 - 3,000.
R21/24: 1d - 72,000; 2d - 12,000; 4d - 12,000; 2s - 30,000.

Notes:
1. New duty plates were used for all six values. The new plates used narrower font and had much better quality control than previously. The differences between the old and new plates of each value are illustrated above alongside R1/12.
2. No missing or substituted letter varieties are recorded from this final printing, though some variations in spacing can be found, and the 2s is known with inverted first S in SHILLINGS.
3. Morley lists both the 1d and the 2s imperforate vertically but I have not seen these. The 2s imperf between is listed in the Gibbons catalogue with 4d postal surcharge (SG41d).
4. R31/36 are generally found in deeper shades than the earlier printings.
5. R31/36 were authorised for postage in 1887. Some values are known with postal cancels.
6. Quantities printed (1882 printing only): 1d - 72,000; 1s - 36,000; 2s - 72,000; 5s - 24,000; 10s - 24,000; £1 - 12,000.

c) As b) but ½ mm space between d and 1 (January 1890)
R43. 1d on 2s orange and green
a. Roman letter I in place of 1
Notes:
1. The plate varieties found on R2 and R33 also exist on these surcharges.
2. Morley lists R41 with variety 'stop dropped' and Barefoot lists R42/3 with variety 'no stop after d' but I have not seen these.
3. Similar surcharges were produced between 1883 and 1891 with the overprint Postage or Postage and Revenue. I have not seen any of these with revenue cancels.
4. R41/43 were authorised for postage in 1887 and can be found with postal cancels.
R43. 1d on 2s orange and green
a. Roman letter I in place of 1

R51/61
Overprint essays (see note 1) and 1d bisect (see note 3)
1884. 19½ x 21½ mm. New key type featuring portrait of Queen Victoria, inscribed Grenada Revenue at top. Perf 14 (comb). Wmk Crown CA. Printed (typo) by De La Rue in upright and inverted rows alternating within the sheet.

R57. 1s green and red
R58. 2s green and blue
R59. 5s green and black
R60. 10s green and brown
R61. £1 green and orange
Notes:
1. Stamps in a similar design but inscribed Grenada Postage at top and overprinted REVENUE in capital letters (as illustrated above right) are essays. A similar imperforate essay also exists in green but inscribed GRENADA (without Postage) at top.
2. The plate set-up with alternating upright and inverted rows means that inverted watermark is as common as normal, and that any vertical pairs or strips of this issue will be tête-bêche. Surviving tête-bêche pairs are know of all values to 2s.
3. Shown above is an example of the 1d value bisected on piece with postal cancels. Such use was unauthorised and its status is uncertain.
4. R51/61 were authorised for postage in 1887, and some values are known with postal cancels.

R71/73
Printer's samples (see footnote 2)
1904-1927. 25 x 30 mm. Badge of the Colony. Inscribed Grenada Revenue. Perf 14 (comb). Printed (recess) by De La Rue in sheets of 60.
a) Wmk Crown CC (1904)
R71. £1 vermilion and green
b) Wmk Multiple Crown CA (c1910)
R72. £1 vermilion and green
c) Wmk Multiple Script CA (1927)
R73. £1 orange and green
Notes:
1. The Crown CC and Script CA stamp (R71 and R73) are known with Specimen handstamps from the printer's archive dated November 1904 and December 1926 respectively, suggesting issue dates of early 1905 and early 1927. The date of issue for R72 is unknown but it was certainly not reprinted after mid-1921 since no MCA printings are listed in the Crown Agents Requisition books.
2. Imperforate printer's samples exist in black and orange-brown with two different types of Specimen overprint as illustrated above right.
3. R72 is known postally used on piece, though this usage was probably unauthorised.
4. Essays dated 8th June 1903 with the Coat of Arms in centre rather than the Badge of the Colony exist both for the £1 and for an unissued £5 value in green and violet. Another £1 essay similar to the issued stamp but with an ornate inner frame was prepared on 11th September 1903. The three unadopted essays are illustrated below.
a) Wmk Crown CC (1904)

2c on 12c fantasy
Illustrated at right is a fiscally used example of the Queen Elizabeth 12c postage stamp with a forged 2c Revenue surcharge. This was first reported by Duston in 1991. Examples are believed to emanate from the collection of Jim Czyl (1947-2014), a noted figure in cinderella philately who produced labels and occasionally created bogus revenue stamps.
R81 (left) and R82 (right)

Types A and B enlarged

1965 (according to Barefoot). Postage stamps locally surcharged with the figure 2 in two different fonts, and two horizontal bars cancelling the original face value.
R81. 2c on $1.50 (Type A)
R82. 2c on $1.50 (Type B)
Notes:
1. R81 and R82 both come from the same sheet and can be found se-tenant. Type A occurs 38 times and type B 12 times in the sheet of 50, as shown on the sheet diagram below.
2. Inverted surcharge, double surcharge and double inverted surcharge errors are known, as well as surcharge omitted on one stamp of a se-tenant pair. It seems likely that these may have been created by favour.

2013. Parrots.
F901. $50 multicoloured
F902. $100 multicoloured
Note: these stamps are the top values of a series of 13 issued on 21st October 2013. The lower values (25c to $10) presumably served postal requirements but the high face values of these two stamps make it likely that they were issued for revenue purposes. I have not seen a used example, either postal or fiscal.
