Description
Issued in 1984, St. Lucia Scott #758 is a commemorative stamp depicting a sergeant of the 74th (Highland) Regiment of Foot, dated 1796, reflecting the island’s colonial military history during the late 18th century. The regiment played a role in British operations in the Caribbean during a period marked by European rivalry and regional conflict.
The design presents a full-length figure of a British infantry sergeant in traditional redcoat uniform, complete with tall hat, white trousers, and musket with bayonet. The figure stands against a lightly rendered background suggesting a Caribbean landscape, allowing the uniform and equipment to remain the focal point. Fine illustrative detail highlights period-accurate dress and military bearing.
Denominated $1, this stamp was intended for higher-value postal uses, ensuring genuine circulation and postal handling.
This example is offered used, showing a visible cancellation, intact perforations, and solid remaining color and detail. A strong single for collectors of military history, colonial-era themes, or St. Lucia commemorative issues.
