next online auction a query came to mind..... when were these T perfins produced?
When the official 'T' puncture was introduced on November 1st, 1902 the 5d Pictorial
was the current stamp of that value in use and stocks must have been considerable.
(I have seen 5d Pictorials perf T with postmarks dating from 1902)
I believe that the perfin was only applied to the 5d Tablet when stocks of the 5d Pictorial
were exhausted ...say around 1908. To support this theory I need used examples with a
discernible date. Anytime between 1902 and 1914 will be useful.
If you have one or more, would you please post the details and/or an image in this topic?
P.S. I am quite happy to see my theory 'go down in flames'!

P.P.S. images of 5d Pictorials perf T used post 1908 would also be welcome here.
