#R7
Probably a revenue for tobacco or cigarettes. I would like to know what the overprint says, what region/locality it was for, when it was issued/used, and its type of use.

ANSWERS:

The Chinese blue band label has an overprint that says in the center "Jiang (Chiang or Kiang according to romanization preference)six districts" or "sixth district" and is dated "sixteenth year, second month". Assuming this to be Republic of China, this corresponds to February 1927. The long inscrption refers to a special tax district certification for rolled somethings (cigars?) in all of Jiangsu (Kiangsu) province.

This stamp seems to be Bulgarian - the value is in Bulgarian Lew and the text is Cyrillic. But I don't find it in any catalogs, and I would like to know what its purpose was.

#R10
I think it must be a fiscal stamp, but what puzzles me is that the value is expressed in Fl (for Dutch guilders) whereas the inscriptions are German ???

Posted by Henk Wallays on 07 Dec 00

ANSWERS:

This is an Austrian Revenue from 1888 Forbin nr. 300. The value is 1 Florin which was the current in Austria at that moment untill about 1895 when they changed it into Kreuzer.
