Some varieties of the overprints exist:

The first stamp is not yet bisected, the second one has a '.' behind 'PENCE'. The third stamp could be a misprint or a forgery; the bar below is very weak! I have seen forgeries of some overprints.

Cancels:

(Typical cancellation "A12" (2x), circular cancel and bar in circle?)

Fiscal stamps:

(Fiscal stamps; as postage stamps design, overprinted 'SAINT KITTS NEVIS REVENUE')

The values 1 p red, 3 p lilac, 6 p brown, 1 Sh green and 5 Sh yellowish-brown exist with this 'REVENUE' overprint.

Forgeries, examples:

Forged overprints, example:

(left, forged overprint: it is too big, right: genuine stamp, images obtained thanks to the forgery site of Bill Claghorn)

There is something funny with these stamps; we see Christopher Columbus with a field-glass. This optical instrument was invented in 1608, more than a century after Colombus' discovery of America.....
