Description: Surface Printed P 15x15 Printed by De La Rue & Co Watermark: Inverted anchor In 1881, the Customs and Inland Revenue Act was passed in the United Kingdom, and it stated that "stamp duties of one penny may be denoted by postage stamps, and vice versa."This led to dual-purpose stamps being issued, starting with the Penny Lilac of 1881 and the Lilac and Green Issue of 18831884. The former was inscribed "Postage and Inland Revenue", while the latter bore the inscription "Postage & Revenue". In addition, existing postage and Inland Revenue stamps became valid for both purposes (F3 was not specifically authorised for postal use, but it was passed by the Post Office without questions in 1881). Many British stamps with denominations up to 2s6d were valid for both postal and fiscal use until 1968 and most definitive and some commemorative stamps issued during this period were duly inscribed. The overall condition of the stamp is very good. As can be see from the photo it has a tear on the left which has been repaired.
