Hi Kool,

There's a note about this in Scott in the postage due section.

The overprint is a capital "T" in a triangle short for "taxe", i.e. postage due.

Similar marks were used on French stamps of the period.

IS THE NOTE IN THE SCOTT SPECIALIZED. Where should I look for it Even though this stamp is New Caledonia, would this surcharge be used in the colony?

Hi Kool,

The note is at the start of the New Caledonia Postage Due Stamps section in my 2009 Scott Standard catalogue. Happy

re: What is this?

Curiously, my Gibbons, Part #6, France and Colonies,
does not mention the "T" in a triangle so I went back to
my old Minkus World Wide and found the overprint with the
coment that they are/were locally printed for postage due.

For those who read (or at least understand) French, here is a page with all explanations.

Is this a test to see if I am awake ?
