South Australia
Departmentals
South Australia Departmentals overprints were applied to rouletted or perforated stamps. Perfection is almost unobtainable because so many of the stamps which were overprinted had been withdrawn from public sale because they were considered unsuitable to isue. Appaling centering was often remedied by severing the stamps with scissors as if they were imperforate.
