Table 6

Notes:
6.3 Scott Post Dues for Cuba start with J1-J4 in 1899, overprints of US stamps. SG-D335 is the first original issue, Scott Sc-J5
6.4 Gibbons and Mackay date this as 1900, Scott as 1901.
6.5 New Zealand Officials - Mackay starts with the 1907 ½d grey (overprint of the 1900 SC84 / SG45). Gibbons and Scott go back to the 1891/92 handstamped overprints. Sc-O1 / SG-O4 is  a magenta overprint on a 1d red. Gibbons SG-O1 (SC-O6) is a violet o/p on the ½d pink (£450). I think the numbering arises from an arbitrary decision to group the overprint colours together. No matter, I'm not paying >£100 for either.
 6.6 Norwegian Airmail. Mackay identifies the 1925 2 ore brown (Sc104 / SG84) issued to help finance Amundsen's attempted flight to the North Pole. Scott's C1 is the 1927 45 ore blue.
6.7Mackay date Norway's first Official as 1925, Scott as 1926.
6.9 Swedish Airmail - Sc-C1 / SG108 is an overprint of the 1910 Official 3 ore brown (Sc-O43 / SG-O20). The first real airmail is the 1930 Sc-C6, SG192 10 ore blue.
6.10 The Swedish Official SG-O1, 2 ore orange is dated 1891 by Scott
6.11 Presumably Cuba's 1935 charity stamp is not regarded as such by Scott because it is  an airmail first, thus Scott's first Cuba semi-postal is the 1939 SC-B1, SG427.
6.12 The site is developing a small leitmotif of express and special delivery stamps, see also Egypt and Russia
6.13 New Zealand#1 is clearly out of reach. I might aspire to a #2, the 2d blue at £14,000 / £550, but the best value is the 1864 1d, same design, perforated. Gibbons Simplified recommends the imperforate Sc11, SG35 at £375 / £225.
6.14 There are more South Australian Officials than there should be, including hoardes of unnumbered departmental overprints. SG-O1 is not in Scott. I am not excited by Official overprints so the will have to be cheap.
6.15 All of Bremen's stamps are fairly expensive, so rather than identify an , I would advise looking for a cheap #1.
