From Tonga 1986 Sports Events set. The left stamp is overprinted specimen and the right stamp is a progressive proof showing what the stamp looked like at a certain stage during the printing process. This proof shows the second last stage in the printing process where all colors are done except for black - the proof is missing black still which was added last.
The stages in the printing process were:-
Progressive 1 shows yellow the first colour done
Progressive 2 shows blue the second colour done.
Progressive 1 + 2 shows yellow and blue done together
Progressive 3 shows third colour done red.
Progressive 1 + 2 + 3 shows red yellow and blue done together but still missing black. This stage is the proof here attached to the specimen issued stamp.
Nice exhibit item from the printers archives.

IMPORTANT NOTE - for buyers in China, India, Russia and Romania who
pay by PayPal, REGISTRATION is COMPULSARY. Too
many unregistered letters have somehow gotten lost or stolen when
sent to these high risk countries and paypal forces me to
refund payment to the buyers even though I have posted their
letters. If you pay by moneybookers then registration is not
compulsory. But if buyers from these countries pay by
paypal THEN REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED no matter what the cost of the
item is.
Buyers from all countries must pay for registration if the total
amount purchased comes to US$50 or more and they are paying by
paypal. If you are paying by moneybookers and the
total is over $50, then you can decide whether you want the
protection of registration or not. But if registration
is not taken, then risk of posting is at buyers risk.
COST OF REGISTRATION in Australia is now AU$18.50 (US$14.00) for a
large A4 sized international registration envelope and AU$12.00
(US$9.00) for a small sized international registered envelope.
