This British stamp has a strange overprint. What is it? [Manuel Praest]
|
|
The overprint (difficult to read black on brown) is "LUTON CORPORATION". Luton is a town in the UK
north of London. This is a therefore security overprint like #50 on Stefano & Casper's site. [Chris Doran]

The 'Luton Corporation' overprint is a security overprint by the City of Luton, in England, to prevent
unauthorised usage/theft. Other public and private bodies have done the same. Another method is the
'Perfin'. [Robert Wilson]
