I have no idea what the purpose was for these Perus stamps. Maybe revenue. They all have dates from left to right: 1880-1881m 1884-1885, 1903-1904, 1915-1916 and 1931-1932.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Kent Image Not Found

Tax and/or revenue stamps, I think.

Not sure about the first 2, but the last 3 are definitely revenues.
I'm sorry I can't give you a catalog number, but I am away on vacation right now.

Hi,

The first two are both revenues as well.

The first one is Forbin #64.

The second one has the design of a local revenue from Arequipa but it doesn't look right to me. I believe the arms in the middle should be embossed.
