1859-1937 used collection (158) on leaves, plus a few mint. &nbsp;Quite a good range of the early issues, with a little duplication; from 1896 problems are evident, with faked or fiscal cancellations on a number of better stamps including 1932 10s and £1 and Wilberforce 5s, 10s and £1. &nbsp;However, some are genuinely cancelled, including 1904 £1 (parts of several Bonthe CDSs, paper colour leached) and 1907 £1 (light Freetown CDS of 30 DE 13). &nbsp;Careful viewing is advised
