You can find these in your Scott catalogue in the Officials section ("back of the book"). They are the bilingual equivalent to the OHMS overprint stamps.

Doh!  So if it had a "G" it was used for government mail in Quebec? Edit - Clarification I mean, was the G used exlusively in Quebec? Or throughout Canada? |

In 1949, the OHMS perforations were replaced by "O.H.M.S." overprints, which were used for a year before being replaced by "G" overprints in 1950. These were used until the end of 1963. Ryan |

I'm not too much up on the G's on Canada stamps, but those two EiiR (Elizabeth II Regina = Reigning Monarch Queen Elizabeth II) or QEII's look different, one thicker than the other. In my catalogue there are 4 different types of G's ueed in different years but the same one of the QEII Wilding portrait's issues. maybe I need a new catalogue (2005 ). I like the cancels, as David stated. I hadn't seen a numeral duplex on a WWII stamp like that before. Some people collect the 2-ringed cancels and also the 4-ringed ones. Some the flag cancels, although more on cover where you can see the whole thing. Roller cancels and another specialty, hard to get a good one on a small stamp also. Has the name of the town / city, the street maybe and a number above and below (same) standing for the roller number, pr clerk number (I think). I lie the shade on the Small Queen issue stamp. Rose or light red kind of. Nice. |
