I have a copy of a 1918 transaction document which bears a 6d National Insurance Stamp with signatures over it. I have looked at pictures of 6d stamps of that period but they are not the same. Mine has a crown on it.
I would like to know what the stamp was for and why it was a National Insurance stamp and not and ordinary stamp. The document concerns the care of a child passing to the care of others. It is in copperplate but with odd grammar and bad spelling. It appears to me not be a legal document but a private one masquerading as one. As anyone any ideas about the using of such stamps? Thanks. Nico
