Hello, here is a 1960's Luxembourg stamp with what looks like at least 2 cancels.Does anybody have a scan with the full cancel with the bird and letter? Thanks David
The CDS would have been a duplex. It is not beyond reason, that the dove and letter may be a country other than Luxembourg, ie a receiving office of another country?
I don't think so, David quite rare, but has tripped us up before now.
In relation to the markings, I am looking at the strikes in relation to a watch face, the dove is on one slant (and may be the slogan part of the CDS duplex) the "AERIE" is on another slant as is the CDS making me think there are three strikes, possibly a parcel stamp and the clerk has gone gangbusters :)
The odd thing that your post has brought up, and perhaps I can be corrected here, the Machine cancels on Luxembourg issues, seem to have the slogan to the left of the machine imprint, most countries have it on the right, so the slogan acts as a "killer" to the stamp whilst leaving the CDS to be read on clean space on the cover.
Hi rod222, I see what yiu mean about the different angles, I had not noticed that. Is there a website that lists different slogan cancels? I haven't been able to fimd one but maybe I'm putting in the wrong keywords. Thamks for the info on this cancel. david
