1896 Official Army Scott O54 1/2 p vermilion Quick History This blog will cover the Scott "Back of the Book" categories for Great Britain: namely Postage Due, Official Stamps, and British Offices Abroad. The Offices Abroad category encompasses WWII occupations, including Offices in Africa (Middle East Forces) and Eritrea, and East African Forces ( For use in Somalia, and for use in Tripolitania). WW II East Africa 1940 Other Offices Abroad stamps are found for China, Morocco, and the Turkish Empire. 1917 Scott 3 4c scarlet Stamps of Hong Kong 1912-14, overprinted Into the Deep Blue The 2011 Scott Classic Specialized catalogue have 38 stamp descriptions for Postage Due (1914-52), 83 descriptions for Official Stamps (1840-1904), 138 descriptions for WW II British African Forces (1942-1951), 27 descriptions for Offices in China (1917-27), 271 descriptions for Morocco and Tangier (1898-1952), and 64 descriptions for the Turkish Empire (1885-1921). Total count is 621 major stamp descriptions. Stamps $10; and of those, here are the "Most Expensive" stamps ($35 threshold): Official Stamps 1902 Scott O40 2p green & carmine "Edward VII" ($40) 1887-92 Scott (O34) 6p violet/rose "Victoria" ($37+) B) Since Scott always has a color specified if there is no illustration cut, this results in a number of stamps that are more or less arbitrarily excluded. ( Unless one ignores the color criteria.) The most absurd example here is in the Postage Due section. The date specification is 1914-39, which possibly admits four series that differ by watermark. But many of the possible candidates were excluded by (subtle) color changes. Perhaps the best (worst?) example is "2p brown black", which eliminates three examples of "2p black brown". ;-) ( One is of course free to ignore these subtle changes, and put the banned stamps into BB.) C) Be aware that the Offices in Morocco section actually has three different currency overprints- Spanish, British, and French, plus Tangier overprints. No wonder there are 79 spaces in BB for Offices in Morocco. D) For this checklist, there are a number of choices for a group of blank spaces. For example, I have 7 choices for 4 blank spaces; and in another, 13 choices for 5 blank spaces. Since these choices were all inexpensive, why not? ;-) Simple Checklist Offices in Morocco (Spanish currency) 1898 1,2,3,4, 1903-06 20 or 27, 21 or 28, 23 or 30, 1907 34,35,(36), 1914-18 49,50,51,52,53, 1936 78,79,80,81, 1937 83,84,85,86, 1937 82, 1940 89,90,91,92, (British Currency) 1907-31 201,202,211 or 221, 212, ( 4 choices: 209,210,213,214,216,220,222,) 1935-36 235,236,237,238,239, 1936 244,245, Next Page Offices in Morocco (French Currency) 1917-37 401, ( 5 choices: 402,403,404,405,408,414,415,416,417,427,429,430,431,) 409 or 418, 434, 1935 422,423,424,425, 1936 437,438*, 1937 439,440, Tangier 1927 501,502,503,504, 1934-35 505,506,507, 1936 511,512,513, 1937 515,516,517, 1936 508,509,510, 1937 514, 1940 518,519,520, Next Page Offices in China 1916-22* 1 or 17,2 or 18,3 or 19,4 or 20,5 or 21,6 or 22 ,7,(8 or 23), Offices in the Turkish Empire 1887 4, 1902-06 8,13,14, 1905 15,16, 1909 26, 1910 32,33, 1911-12 35 or 37, 36 or 38, 1913-14 40,41,42, 1913-21 46,47,48,49,50,51,52, 55,56,57,58,59,60,61, Next Page Official Stamps 1882-1904 O11,O19,O4,O20,O14,O16, 1883-1902 O37,O31,O40,(O32),(O34),(O39), 1887-1902 O54,O59,O55,O60,(O56),(O57) 1903 O72,O73,(O78*), Postage Due 1914-39* 1/2p: J1 or J9 or J18 or J26 1p carmine rose: J10 or J19 or J27 1 1/2p red brown: J3 or J11 2p brown black: J4 3p violet: J5 or J13 or J21 or J29 4p gray green: J6 5p bistre: J23 or J31 1s blue: J8 or J16 or J24 or J32 2sh 6p: J17 or J25 or J33 Comments A) ( ) around a space/ numbers either indicates a choice or several choices.

D) *1903 O78: I include O78 ($20+) as a choice, as it is in the second 1903 issue, even though the overprint cut adjacent to the space is for the first 1903 issue because... the cheapest remaining choice for the first issue is $130! E) *Postage Due 1914-39: Four issues are eligible ( different watermarks), but many were ruled out because of (subtle) color changes. F) * 438 (French-centime) Morocco Agencies - put the 1936 Scott 438 A99 15c on 1 1/2p red brown in the space, as alas! BB has a descriptive error (10c on 1p crimson) for the space. BB's description doesn't exist in the Scott catalogue for the French centime issues. No doubt the Scott 438 15 centime on 1 1/2p red brown was actually intended by BB for the space. 1887 Scott 4 40pa on 2 1/2p violet/blue Turkish Empire: 40 Paras = 1 Piaster Out of the Blue The "Back of the Book" British stamps were refreshingly inexpensive, compared to the 1840-1950 regular issues. I now only need to acquire some. ;-) Note: Map is from http://africanhistory.about.com Links Bud's Big Blue - Great Britain Have a comment? Would like to hear from you!

1907 Scott 92 6c red violet & orange "King Edward VII" wmk 3 Quick History Hong Kong was ceded to Great Britain in January, 1841 as a result of the First Opium War, and the first stamps of the colony were issued in 1862. Hong Kong is located on the South coast of China by the Pearl River Delta. Because of the strategic location, and deep natural harbor, Hong Kong grew to be one of the leading international finance centers. The population was ~1,000,000 in the 1930s. Languages are Cantonese and English, with Mandarin assuming more importance. Hong Kong circa 1915 Originally the colony consisted of Hong Kong Island, but was expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860, and the the "New Territories" in 1898. There was a 100 year lease on the new lands, and hence, in 1997 China regained sovereignty. Today Hong Hong is a "Special Administrative Region" (along with the nearby Portuguese influenced Macau and the Casinos). Hong Kong retains the British common law framework, but foreign relations and military defense is China's.
