Watermark Imperial Crown.Catalogue numbers:Scott #127 (basic 1d for the series; note that the standard colour for the 1d is scarlet/red — your example appears in a green shade, which may be a colour changeling, heavily toned example, or photographic effect; the normal green value of this design is the ½d).Stanley Gibbons SG 219 (or nearby for the ordinary 1d scarlet).The large black “LFW” is almost certainly a commercial overprint, company cachet, or heavy cancel rather than a postal overprint.
