I picked up these NAAFI notes in a coin dealer's junk box forever ago for less than a dollar each. You will see that they are typical British Armed Forces notes, but are overprinted "Issued in H.M. Ships/For Use Only In/NAAFI Canteens".

The overprints on my notes appear to be a rubber stamp in a typewriter script.

However, my ancient Pick (back before they started issuing it in 28 parts, or whatever) shows a very different note, with a more traditional overprint -- big black letters, actually overprinted on the note, not stamped.

Anybody know anything about what I have here? Does Pick?
