The genuine overprint is FLAT RED, it is not shinny nor is it dull but has a lively presence. The color is RED, not carmine, not rose, not crimson, not orange and not pink. It is printed in UPPER CASE letters with SERIFS. The length of the overprint is 15.5 mm and the height is 2.75 mm and rises from left to right at an angle of 22 degrees from the horizontal plane.

The red overprint was only applied to the $ values and the l0c Special Delivery issue. Very good forgeries, as well as some poor ones, exist on all of the $ values of both sets. No forgery, to date, has been reported on the Special Delivery issue, possibly because the supply of used Special Delivery stamps was very limited.
