Virgin Is Leeward Is SG3 2 1/2d with Tortola CDS

The 1890 Federation Issue (Leeward Is) was in principle obligatory as the Powers that be tried to outlaw the local usages. The Virgin Is citizens together with their neighbours fiercely resented this so in 1899 a new Virgin Is issue appeared. Leeward Is stamps used in the Virgin Is are worth a premium.
