Great British Postage Due Stamps Issued 1914 to 1994
Up until the introduction of the Postage Due Stamps a handstamp was applied to the envelope to indicate a fee payable by the receiver. This was needed in cases where the item had insufficient postage paid or in many cases, none at all.
In 1914 a set of Postage Due stamps were issued and these were then applied to the cover or package to indicate the amount of payment required. A later set was issued with a new higher value, but with Block Cypher watermark replacing the Royal Cypher one.
Every Reign since King George V has had at least one set of Postage Due stamps issued. The last issue being in 1994, when it was decided to revert back to a To Pay Handstamp.
Large used blocks can be found of most values, these were used to indicate various forms of duty that needed to be paid, for example import duty.
