I received a clue for the "X" marking on the Scott#87 I have shown. I picked this up from a Sandfayre offering Early Tunisia Postage dues albeit I have no supporting literature on usage.  |

Rod - The "pour les combattants" overprints aren't Cinderellas - they're charity stamps in aid of Tunisian PoWs in Germany, unless you have something else in mind. The overprints I mentioned, and of which you have the 15c on 20c, are Yvert 59-66, SG 61-68 of 20/9/1918, and will be in Scott. |

I dug out SG, (Part ll) because Tunisia is under France. All explained, I'll note that in my album, as I was certainly discombobulated. Thanks Geoff. (the 15c opts, of 1916 only paid postage of 10c, so 5c went to aiding prisoners in Germany) |

All of the timbre taxe stamps used before the specifically designed issue of 1901 were perforated copies of the coat of arms issues. They can be found, I think, with cross, pen or date cancellations. |

but another query, how does one discern the 1888 from the reprints of 1893 It appears only "shades and gum" I cannot check gum, so here is some shade examples.  |

I think the differences between the three (1888, 1893, 1897) issues of the " thin" numerals set are around colour and paper. As I read the catalogue, your left-hand stamp could be black/azure (1888) or black/blue (1893). The right-hand looks like black/grey (1897). |

Thanks Vayolene,
I think I had one of these in my stock,
It was adhered to others, so it has been soaked,
and currently in the "drying sandwich" in a book with others..
