Does anyone know of a listing of all French Railway T.P.O.'s that may be in page form and not necessarily by hardbound book form. Someone, someplace must have created a checklist for usage on these cancels? Anyone know?
Thanks for the replies. Rod222 : will go over and see what they have to offer. Puzzler : Nice to meet you, keep in touch.. Bujutsu : All ready a member of that group .. they just list the old publications
There is a book by Jean Pothion which I have seen variously referenced as, Catalogue des cachets courriers-convoyeurs, 1852-1966, and Catalogue Des Cachets Courriers-Convoyeurs-Lignes, 1877-1966.
Perhaps they are different books?
I only found out about it when Harald hinted at it in identifying this stamp of mine a year or so back:
Nice stamp and marking. Thank you for the suggestions. I keep looking, but have yet to find any of those books around. Oh well, I guess someone someplace will issue a book someday? BOb
I did a search on Delcampe under the overall catalogs section and found eight different versions listed, one an original 1900 version for EUR 60,00. Most were EUR 11,00 to 22,00.
Search term: 'Catalogue des cachets courriers-convoyeurs'
