Commissioned Officers' Mess scrip from Bermuda sits in a niche that most collectors either ignore entirely or pursue obsessively — British military auxiliary currency, issued for internal use within a mess and carrying no legal tender status whatsoever. These notes functioned purely as a credit token within a closed economy: drinks, meals, sundry charges settled against an officer's account.
Blue paper was a deliberate production choice to distinguish denomination tiers at a glance across a crowded bar. The issuing garrison and precise period of use are not always documentable from the note alone, which makes provenance records, when they survive, worth more than the scrip itself.
