Rod, very nice souvenir sheets! Especially like the Orval ones, but that is personal. Back in the fifties and sixties I visited Belgium regularly, and that is one place where the beer tastes fantastic!

Thank you Peter,

I visit Belgium regularly, (via big screen TV) especially this time of year,
I share the Belgian passion of cycling.

The Orval sheets once seen, rarely forgotten.
(PS: The imperf sheet does exist perforated)

Officiel Catalogus #251 1935



Officiel Catalogus Type 31 (set of 7 values)
20c Lilac
PC type31 1-Vll-46 posthorn 30-Vl-47 01

two questions needing your kind opinion thanks
first shouldnt both 20cent stamps have the same color shade ultramarin and navy
second is it a regular cancel or its a precancel on the 1c stamp





sorry too big album for scaner to handle

The precancel is NAMUR Station 1906.
The only colours I can see for the 20c
are Blue, Dark Blue, Pale Blue, and Ultramarine.

Thanks for your kind opinion I cant help not asking why namur station cause Namur station is 1898-1901 and the one iam showing is 06 thanks

Regarding colors of the 20c you mean that the one on the right is fitting or isnt thanks

Interesting question.
Some of these block precancels, lie outside the catalogue.
Hopefully a Belgian specialist here can enlighten us.

In my catalogue (I cannot read the language) the pre cancels start at 1906 Bruxelles.
I have lots showing earlier dates.

Your 20c on the Right hand side, appears to be a "colour changeling" but best to see what other members suggest.

I had the answer in my database. (From 2008)
I have the "Officiel" catalogue mentioned in this query

The handstamped (Local) precancels are not listed, you would need a specialist catalogue.

Many thanks and my compliments, I honestly appreciate it

You're most welcome.
One often learns just as much, answering a question, as we do, asking one.

Rod, just wondering if you have any additional information about this sheet. It appears to be the "privately trimmed" version of your sheets, mentioned in the Scott catalog. But, as Scott usually does, they kind of shortchanged us with regards to information. They basically say that they were privately trimmed and overprinted, but fail to mention by who, or for what purpose. I also have an imperf version.
