A postal forgery of the 5/- BCOF. The overprint is on the reddish-brown stamp with yellow tint. As the tinted 5/- was never used for the BCOF overprint and the font is not the font used for the overprints as well as the overprint is in a reclining position, it has been identified as a forgery. What a waste of a $30.00 stamp, if someone had purchased this stamp it would have made the forger around $225.
