Hi Kirk (The quiet achiever)  Thanks Your Scott Specialised gift, is now well thumbed. (Collection greatly boosted from a gift from SCF member Jos Sanders) -------------- 3 Tunisia Queries, (For French Specialists) Is there any special Nomenclature for the 3 postmarks here ? Scolloped circle broken (arcs) circle (Pmk SILIANA) Hexagonal Circle X = theft prevention? Meaning of "Regence de Tunis" ? The Scott catalogued "Semi Postals" Only have 1 value (value tablet barred) How can there be two values (Being Semi Postal) ? Why are these not "postal tax stamps?  |

The 'Régence de Tunis' was the entity of the Ottoman Empire centred on Tunis (compare the Roman Provinces).
What is the context for your question? |

"?zaine" is most likely "Dizaine" (in this context "dizaine" is a period of 10 days) "Principae" is most likely "Recette Principale" (something like GPO)   |

Thank you both, fabulous. REGENCE DE TUNIS (2 Ring) Probably translates to Governate of Tunis. RECETTE PRINCIPALE (Bridge Type)  Wiki (Google Translation) The Regency of Tunis is an ancient state entity in North Africa , which existed from 1574 to 1705, when the Husseinites dynasty came into existence . It is placed under the nominal sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the rivalry between the latter and Spain. Situated between the regencies of Algiers and Tripoli, its borders correspond roughly to those of present -dayTunisia. To govern the regency, the Ottoman sultans entrusted it to avassal. However, under the reign of the beylical dynasty of the Husseinites, teabeys of Tunis acquired de facto independence, making them the true monarchs of the country until the establishment of the protectorate. For, despite their victories, the Ottomans hardly established themselves in Tunisia and the conquest of the interior of the land was only completed under the reigns ofAli II Bey(1759-1782) and Hammouda Pasha(1782-1814) |

Any members aware of what Billigs Handbook, Tunisia is discussed?
I only can find the German Parcel Post of Tunisia in Volume 22

Purchasers of the Prisoner of War Fund charity issue of 20 September 1918 paid the original face value of the stamp, but could only use it for payment of 15c postage. |

@rod222, in the list of "Postmark Noted" you have DJERE. Could it be DJERBA (an island belonging to Tunisia)?  |

Scolloped circle
broken (arcs) circle (Pmk SILIANA)
Hexagonal Circle
X = theft prevention? Maury lists cancel types in their French colony catalogue. Based on that Scalloped circle - C1 cachet de convoyeur (similar to chemin de fer I presume) Broken circle - D22 cachet a date un seul cercle en tirets Hexagonal circle - D23 cachet a date hexagonal a un seul countour de bureau auxiliare ~Greg |

Rod - you have one in your "queries" section - the 15c on 20c. Oh! really? Now I am confused / ignorant of those. I was presuming the Cinderellas "pour le combatants" or similar, my foggy memory recalls. Any literature online I can read? Cupram Quote:

I think you have it  Thanks. Nice 15c  , but another query, how does one discern the 1888 from the reprints of 1893  any idea? |
